Purple

This assignment was to mimic the style of Wright's poem "Yellow." I wanted to do a color that was somewhat out of the box as in not blue or green. 

Purple

Purple is for prosperity, the pure, the unattainable:

The bruise’s wide streaks, that purple, the spasms of pain;

Cool morning air, the purple of freedom;

The purple of those ladies, sparkling shadows over their alluring eyes;

The royal purple of kings;

Extravagant purple, the purple of techno;

The limitless purple, applauding the Lakers;

The purple of twilight, a race across the sky;

The purple of memories lost;

Purple of pomegranates, purple of Crayola;

The purple of lilies, the purple within the soul;

Purple of berry pie, their brown skin;

Ocean purple, overwhelming waves;

The purple of burning potassium, the grape, the riches of life.
