Brief: The Land of Aubergine

I search for the land of Aubergine
Where the Egg Plant is nurtured and raised
Pods of Byzantium Airships
Succulence with a Periwinkle glaze

It’s a strange thing looking alive in a leftovers box
Its crumbly beige and yellow with a brown layer underneath
It looks like aubergine, cream and mince, with a hint of something else
What will it do to your teeth?...

Aurora

Aurora rises up
Astride her chariot
Aglow in dawn’s pink blush,
Aubergine cloak of stars,
Ageless – four winds’ mother –
Argent moon’s sweet sister
Announces Sol’s new day.

Red, orange and ochre…spill over into waterfalls of color

Sable, tan and umber…tumble into a silky symphony

Purple, wine, aubergine…cascade in chutes of amethyst fantasies

Russet, copper and rust…flood in flowing reveries of nature’s tears...

Tirin was a king of Asan famous land of snail
                    Went out with thee ministers, in hand a begging pail 
                                   Said to queerest gentle Djinn
                                  Playing with his wife aubergine
                    "Please send the lamp of Aladdin by your next email'...

Strawberry faces freckle
in morning sun
Noses tickle
with the cold wet kisses
of orange mist
The aubergine
of plums drips
from chins
under a feather sky
Garnet grapes cobblestone
old roads
where tractors snore
as celery waves
break
on an almond shore

Autumn colours drift down like aubergine 
Catch carelessly a crimson columbine 
Chestnut leaves flutter 

Auburn tinctures drop down like treasure troves 
Gather gently from glossy golden groves 
Amber blades clutter 

Sepia hues dance down like floating planes
Amass amply those amazing remains 
Ginger fronds putter

There are many
Shades of me
They cover you
And color me
I can be any hue I want to be

Black or white
Neon bright
A darker color when we fight
A softer shade 
Relaxed for when I sleep

A blue for when I’m feeling low
When wide awake, a light yellow
A range of shades for everything
When ready I’m an aubergine

I change from day to day you know
Like many colors of the rainbow
I shine brightly for all to see
Growing daily like the evergreen...

Mr TURNIP AND Ms AUBERGINE
                             
                              Mr Turnip was on a aubergine-free diet
                                Ms. Aubergine on a Turnip-free quiet
                                          Both were on a stroll
                                        And Opened their scroll
                             Sold turnips and aubergines to Hotel Hyatt

The French expression is exquisite, 
fat succulent globes glowing darkly,
but if you're looking for length look  
to the East, although they lack girth.
Yet the Greeks do it best
sleek glossy orbs, rubbed with
olive oil then laid in their bed and 
immersed in an effusion of 
ripe succulent Roma slowly 
simmered with garlic, oregano  
and perhaps a few chilies, if you like it
hot and then covered with a thick 
white sauce béchamel and lasciviously 
savoured with a mature rich red....
