Peel away red for me, or let me bite into it so I may taste the bitter along with the sweet I've lived long enough, now to appreciate ripening Pretend I'm color blind, but don't imbue me with fast-food cartoon shades Such hues insult my gut need for slow habits: To eat with polished fingers, to sway from the effect of bubbles Please use yellow in small bursts Citrus is like that on trees for a reason Small coins and slivers from a distance Sparks that make lips squint up-close Purple is pretty, but it forces confessions I'm careful to notice it in the fields, believing it is forbidden to trample The vine or briar blackens my tongue with a darkness that spells out on occasion of sticky I've tasted plenty enough, now to understand Eve Ah, blue: Your eyes, have swallowed me whole. To willingly know your blue is to know miles of sky-gardens that do not produce as much as consume Green, green with me always, beyond soft grasses and checkered sands, picking blanket spots across now & there All colors, subtle compared to us I hope everyone finds a perfect blanket spot this summer. |

Somy~ Yes, just like our willow Thanks luv.D~ Aww, poor little love bugs. Oh well, at least they are happy when they go. Ride on Word daddy. Lovins. RDB~ I'm happy you had a look see. Thanks for smiling on me today. Huggins. Rick~ Actually, I wrote this on a hillside after I blocked traffic for just a few seconds. I stopped to take a picture of a rainbow. Full on in perfect light, cayman-blue sky, but the air seemed to possess a lemon haze due to the storm clouds filtering the sun. And all I had was my cell phone to capture it. I tried, with not so good results. ROYGBIV. Idigo and violet had to fit in with the purple passion shades and berry colors. How very perceptive of you Rick. Big hugs. love, reg |

"Green, green with me always, beyond soft grasses and checkered sands, picking blanket spots across now & there All colors, subtle compared to us" Love how you describe yourself...beautiful and pleasantly asthetic. |
