Color my world about eight shades of green, Crayola, schmayola!(if you know what I mean!) 'twixt the passion for painting and writing I'm torn but can't find a rhyme for the color of orange! True blue I've discovered is hard to describe burnt umbrance is shading this fools' diatribe. I may wax poetic of red sky at morn, but, what kind of lunatic rhymes words with orange? I see words like fuschia and can't help but think, would purple confuse ya if blended with pink? I'm ruing the hue of the day I was born, can one overdue his obsession with orange? Where gray is a mixture of white and of black the past paints a picture I miss for a fact, of turquoise petunias twixt fields of corn 'neath marigold skies that the sun's painted orange. And so I continue my search for this rhyme. My palette's half empty (of reason), it's time for a stroke of genius, but, I am forlorn for try as I might ,I just can't rhyme with orange! |

Great fun read! You've taken the poet's dreaded word and painted a delightful picture. Enjoyed! Till oceans cease to flow and deserts lose their sands, may beauty surround you every day and wealth be in your hands. |

DoctorQuack-Me-Up~ I was going to say that you tickle me pink, but what a horrible clash that would be~ Continue your search for an orange rhymer this poetic exercise is just a primer~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Doc nakd, Thanks, excellent advice. Doc Blues Serenade' Thanks for stopping by the fruit market! Doc Marge, "Pickle your what?" Now, you know I'd never do that( at least not in open!) Doc EA, Thanks , so glad you liked. Doc Nan, Tangerine? Some marines have dreams it seems of tangerines behind the scenes, but, that wouldn't be me. thanks Doc Paladin, thanks. My foreign language is pretty well limited to English. Time to expand. Doc Serenity, Thank you, friend. I too am at a loss to recall. Glad you liked. Doc Krawdad, Smiley faces back at'cha. Doc |
