Colour

Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that repeats or focuses on a single color. Some examples for you – Diane Wakoski’s “Blue Monday,” Walter de la Mare’s “Silver,” and Dorothea Lasky’s “Red Rum.”

Purplish, twilight coloured 
Vespertinian 
Your Lululemon jacket, purple 
Emerging from the Dublin crowd 
Underneath blue-purple cloudless skies 
With smiling face 

In purplish cocoon of meeting you
Lovely late-evening Dublin skies 
When I am not quite sure 
If the light has left yet or not
And all that is left is purple 
half night, half something else
