How Does Your Garden Grow?
Snapdragon thoughts
scatter like gold dust
between
Rose colored glasses
Lime green lizards slither
their briny tongues
among
Sulfur Mums
bleeding into my
Blue Iris
dreams
Over at Poets United ,I provided a SARK challenge for Wonder??? Wednesday...
Deep Amethyst in a Calamine sunset looks
for the hidden mirage
of
First Blush
hidden Coral Blossom
opening it's spirit
in a mystic, translucent glow
Yellow Duchess starts to move
like a Bumble Bee finding
a Pale moonlight Daffodil
Remote Green Sea Nymph
waiting for the ephemeral bloom
to marry the
Bonnie Blue sea
Nymph releases her gift
an amulet of
Rose Quartz hope
I wanted to do a colorful poem for SARK~ I have an addiction-to paint chips! I decided to use some of their names in my poem~
Ha, Ella, I wonder what I would see if I had 'rose-colored' glasses. I do love your use of color in this post.
ReplyDeleteI love your 'SARK' poem too. So many beautiful colors...
So very creative Ella--love this
ReplyDeleteWow...you were really color creative with these. I love paint chips too. I gather tons of them and then have to set them free because I can't keep all of them. :)
ReplyDeleteOh colour, [or even color]
ReplyDeletein name and in pixels
in light strength
always the delight you show us here.
Thanks for that prompt, it was lovely to do.
I love all the color in these--as well as the paint chips. I love colors and so enjoyed seeing you use so many.
ReplyDeleteI just read the first, which I loved--including the colorful imagery. The actual highlighting hurts my eyes.
ReplyDeleteSusan-Sorry, about that! I guess sunglasses are needed~ Thank you :D
ReplyDeletePeggy-Thank you! I love the look of them and the names :D
Aprille-Thanks for making me smile :D
Susie-I use mine to make gift tags! The green ones are great for Christmas trees and the red ones candy canes...so cute! :D Birthday ones just write on them, or punch out stars~
Audrey-Thank you so much :D
Mary-I know I wish my Rose colored glasses didn't get broken~ I guess I need a new pair, :D Thank you~
I LOVE the "blue iris dreams". I adore irises. I must grow a whack of them next year. And I NEED an "amulet of Rose Quartz Hope." Tell me where to find one:)
ReplyDeleteWow both poems are wonderful and the different colored highlights really add that visual element which makes internet poetry special.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy using color and images as inspiration for poetry ... you did this so beautifully!

ReplyDeleteNice colors! And names of colors! Cool. k.
ReplyDeleteGreat poems!! I love the natural feeling and the stand out line for me is this:

Blue Iris
dreams"
Love your words, Ella!!
I loved the way you used colors in the poems ... well written !!!
ReplyDeleteThe colours add a great visual impact to each piece.
ReplyDeletelove how you used color in both poems. I'll have to stop by the hardware store to get some paint chips for inspiration! I never would have thought of that before!
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful poem for SARK you've written, a wonderful poem to read also. I wonder ... inspiration grows ... change of times?
ReplyDeleteLove the use of color in your poem. It's very natural and beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way of visually and conceptually integrating color into your poems! “ Bleeding into my blue iris dreams” seemed like a portal to another world.
ReplyDeleteIris are a favorite flower for me. And I love paint chips too. I use them as book marks—the colors make me happy.
LOVE both your poems, Ella! appreciate your introduction to SARK and your prompt ~ not sure i got it right, though.
