Lush crimson
craves heat
thrives in heat.

Pale lilacs
are young lovers
lost in rapture.

Sun’s gold
wealth of the earth
cuddles babies in the park.

Fall colors array
its dazzling yellows
and cool greens.

Black enshrouds
hearts in mourning
their grief unabated.

Grey shadows
gentle blanket
usher night’s awakening.

I dabble in my easel
inventing new tints
colouring myself purple.

I really enjoyed this trip around the paint tray watching the shades take shape on the eisle. This poem had a lovely flow to it.

I have only one minor suggestion, which would be to see if you can get away from repeating the word 'heat' so close together. Just a suggestion.

I think you have found the essence of the colors with your poetry.  A fun trip so early this morning.  Joyce

Thanks poets, you made my day with your generous comments.
A find day today here, one could easily be in the mood to paint - which I cant do.
