Morning shyly woke

Wrapped in blankets of chaste snow

Blushed by winter’s sun

Colorful Thoughts ~ #poetry

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?

All these holiday goodies, can make a body plump

A nibble here, a sneak of sweets, finds its way to our rump

We’ve become corpulent, just because we had to try it

Until January second, tis when we all begin that diet!

Decorating for the holidays, our tradition, with family

We can’t wait to place, each ornament, upon the tree

Passed down for generations, each adds a special touch

The treasures of our Christmas, that mean so very much

Now, to the contest!

There were many great submissions but my top three included:

3. McGee Travel Tale’s “Hot Chocolate” recipe! Because who doesn’t love hot chocolate?

2. Ivor’s “My Lost Sock, A Christmas Story.” Because it brings together harsh reality and light-hearted whimsy!

That mean the winner is . . .
