All the Colours

Laughing, smiling, cheerful and all the colours are life itself

Green and gold and pink and blue; Orange and purple and red and yellow

All the colours in the world


A golden festival in the sun with the music amber-glinting their eyes and the glowing field gilded with good friends

A crimson summer, with rosy days and burgundy nights as wedding red dreamers dance in the poppy fields

Hazard-yellow happiness banana peels its way around the lemon trees as the canaries frolic in the sky

The violet blush of pride and joy as the sisters mix lavender love and purple rainbows to lift the children's sadness

The spicy joke the eldest told , turmeric orange in its playful naughtiness, hot as mustard and as secret as saffron


All the colours in the world

All the colours of my life

So why do I wear so much black?

Nice twist at the end and so true for most of the population.
