Colour – RDP Sunday

“The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most.”  John Ruskin

 

Ms Palette

Some people are very grey,
while some are plain beige,
that’s who they are,
others, unfortunately,
are determinedly black or white
and entirely predictable,
some are bohemian rainbows,
free spirits,
some,
like my girl,
colour my day.

    I grinned and laughed at the witty last line. I think that’s a pretty good thing for a poem to do for you, make you grin and laugh. Thank you, Paul. I owe you one.

    This is so true about colors that people are cloaked in.
