The Color Of: Creatilve Challenge #248

Red is the color of the rose when in full bloom
Red is the color of your nose, because so often it is blown
Red is the color of your anger so recently shown
Red is the color of the fire which is found in your eye
Red is the color of your fury as your lover says goodbye

Blue is the color of your mood, seemingly dark as a well
Blue is the color of your words as you send him to hell
Blue is the color of the sea with its waves so tall
Blue is the color of the ocean into which he should fall

Bright yellow is the color of the sun, shining high above
Bright yellow is the color of your attitude with your new love
Bright yellow is the color of the flower you wear in your hair
Bright yellow is the color of the sunflowers we see everywhere.

Creative Challenge: Playtime (A Sonnet)

Is there ever as much joy as playtime?

We romp, we roll we laugh and we giggle

Does not matter night time or in daytime

Run and jump scream and shout laugh and hop spin and wiggle

 

When we go out on a summer like day

Our thoughts are free our intents are fun

Only a child can know the glee of play

The sheer wonder of faces in the sun.

 

But there is a time to come in and rest

One more jump and one more run and in

We must accept that Mom know best

First a bath then hair put up in a pin

 

     As we say our prayers at our beside

     We thank God for all our playtime outside.

Have you ever noticed the instructions on a microwave dinner that say “Heat until hot.” Followed by “Caution: Product will be Hot.”

Have you ever noticed that if you want to observe butterflies and birds in their natural habitat that playing the 1812 Overture on your boom box seems to prevent that?

Have you ever noticed how good that makes you feel?

Have you ever noticed how you will weep copious tears yet are having the happiest day of your life at your daughter’s wedding?

Have you ever noticed that I probably should have ended this thing about ten “Have you ever noticed” ago?
