Purple Paint Poem Challenge

SeattleRain said:

Okay we had some delicious poems to read today,
and I apologize for posting this challenge so soon after....but...


I am painting my kitchen.
Purple something.
I picked up a handful of the color strips from my local hardware store.
I thought some of the name were quite poetic.

(and yes I took notes in the hardware aisle for my next shopping list poem)


I have listed below like one million shades of purple,
take your pick and go with it
or go to your local store pick up a few sample strips of purple
and use the name for the title of your poem.

there are no rules, except your title be a paint shade of purple

It does not have to have anything to do with the color purple, just go with the title. (kind of like the salad dressing one, Hail Ceasar!)

Please post more if you have some other good paint shades of purple to share.

Something for everyone.


Challenge is over the second week of July.
I do not have a calendar, and will get back to you as to the exact day to post....




So, any purple polka dot bikini stuffed with purple mountain magesties,
naughty purple nurple deliveries or royal dignitaries to join in?

Come on lets play!

(official thread starter gives permission for this thread be used to chat,
as it is time limited and will not get fat .)

Just use the word purple to be sure

Dark Secrets
~~~~~~~

Time whistles
content with her musings,
moments well spent
climbing sapphire hills.
Crystal gazing,
soaring,
with violet wing,
and her violet cast shadow,
the purple hawk's view.
Though seeing great distance,
the visible violet
of mountains majestic,
still hidden,
in the dark plum adventures
of life's night edition.
with purple moon rising.
time trembles,
in purple hearts,
unforgotten
dark secrets.
~~~~~~~~~~~
i know this isn't exactly what we were suppose to do, but it just sorta happened.

I'll be in India at the time, so I guess I'll have to pass on this one unless I find a good internet café... but then, you know... sitting at an open computer in India with a page open with Eve's and Tess's wicked AV's, or perhaps ManRay's... well... let's say it would shock contemporary community standards.

Purple is my favorite.
I like colorful poems. I found all kinds of neat colors of my bob II poem.
I'm thinking color now... I'll do my best to come up with something.

Opening Night

yes it was
clumsy and flimsy
sweet and sexy
and a little bit scary
watching, waiting, wary

stolen glances
through endless shapes
thrown over a dinner table
too many rows of forks
when every fork
is a fifteen minute dish
of trite polite conversation

later
    she had whispered
    and squeezed his hand
first, pretend to be adults
down here
then, go and be adults
for real
some otherwhere...

and the evening dragged on
glacier river slow
not without it's moments
    toes rubbed together
    under the table
    mouthed loveyous
    behind napkins

noone noticed
except old grannie Liz
    who always notice everything
leaning in
between blue cheeze fromage
and tiramisu dessert

Don't rush it, boy
and treat her right,
I know you can.
    murmured under Tokaij breath
And don't you worry,
I'll stall your parents,
hers too. It's a night
for the young, one to remember.

and a creamy coffee treat later
four silent feet
ran stolen steps up stairs
hand in hand
hearts in heaven
to a secluded premiere

an opening night
far from flawless
clumsy and flimsy
sweet and sexy
and a little bit scary

but just right
a night for the young,
one to remember
and with many more
to follow
