The colors of fall
Russet and orange adorn
Flecks of gold petals
Now gathered, in a bouquet
Keeping autumn’s presence near

If I were a color, could you imagine what I’d be?
The yellow of the sun, or deep blue, like the sea
Orange, like a marigold, or just plain lily white
I have to find the color that fits me, just right
Perhaps I am purple, shades of light and dark
Perhaps I am red, set the sizzle, light the spark
Green, the cool of summer grass, between my toes
So many different choices, tell me, do you know?
Or maybe I am, merely black, like the pitch of night
Tis where I often find myself, always when I write
I think today, I shall be, all the colors I can find
Lost forever, happily, in the rainbow of my mind
Prompt: What color do you feel like today?

A sinking sun sets the mood, o’er the mountains
The last bell chimes, and silence fills the lands
Peacefulness reigns, with the dimming light
Which cast its shadows, across the sands
A haze falls over the country, like a slumber
Not even the chirp of crickets can be heard
And as night settles in, and day slips away
The colors of the sky, become serenely blurred
December Writing Prompt – The last bell chimed and not even the crickets could be heard – Day 28/31

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.
She holds her head high, so proudly
This woman, who has colored the lands
In hues of pink, and yellow, and green
With simply a raise of her hands
Summoning the sun, over mountains
She sees the flowers dance with mirth
Giddy, like a child, she laughs along
She has given new life, to the Earth

Sunset welcomes night
Blushing, in vivid colors
Rose, crimson and wine
An endless brilliance that shines
Against the ebb of the light
