Scientifically, a first in the seek of knowledged thirst A simple search for something more produced this color by the score~ The fabric industry regaled this mix of the discovery in the year of 1856, The delicate shades of this scientific find continues today in the ages of our minds~ A shade of color before undefined found in the laboratory of a brilliant mind Through the decades it came to signify many things that capture the eye~ History is full of the stories of this find This was a first of the human-made kind~  ***Ah, a research project*** ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

That would probably be Mauve, Marge. I thought your poem was very well crafted. It's a happy thing when somebody can put something together that finely. Thanks. |

See, all those rumors about me being 'dunce cap' material are unfounded~ (so far) Actually, Sir Teach, I have found some WONDERFUL information researching the finding of colors~ Never too old to learn, are we ? *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I loved your poem Marge, but I had to look up what colour Mauve is on the internet. LOL When it comes to colours it seems my Dutch side takes over.  |
