Umber Poems - Poems about Umber

Umber

Through mist and rain I walk the pier
Truly my favourite time of year
Umber sky and umber ocean
All chaotic frenzied motion.

Heaving waves foam and spume
Dance macabre without a tune
Seagulls screech duck and dive
Energised feeling briskly alive.

Turbulent view is painted umber
Seascape beguiles it's full of wonder
This is my time my happy place
Perfect freedom with breathing space.

of their salmon sun, 
languid 
in orchid sky
before indigo palms 
and spruce mountains
brocading
a mute kingdom,
onto my blank 
porcelain world.

I still hear him as he sits near me to play

Pond hums hymns   with those that gaze and linger  


Across the pond time swiftly hinders   

Umber world gradient chatters while I slumber 

Cumber from feeding as I saw lumber


I yawn as

The Colour Umber

The colour umber. 




The umber colour is not any colour but all three at the same time, 

and to be any colour like a plain old blue, well be so inclined, 

and to tell a colour from another colour you must never be colour blind. 

Yes umber is the colour that swirls inside my mind,
