Red

The changing
Leaves
And
The chill
In the air
Makes me
Think of you
The
Warm glow
Of
Red
In the dark
In the
Early morn
Revealing
Your silhouette
Your form
Beside me
Though it is
Red
Like autumn
Outside the
Mortared walls
Here
With you
Is
Comfort
Peace
It feels
So sweet
In
Your arms
And
When you
Are
Wrapped
Around
Me
And I
Do not want
I do not need
For I have
All
I have
Everything
Though it is
Chilly
Though
The
Sky is
Red
Though
The stained
Leaves
Fall
I am
Happy

Thanks guys!

I wrote those words on an envelope.I was just laying around with my sweetie who had fallen asleep and it was so gloomy outside but for red leaves waving in the window and a weird red sky.

FreindInSpirit, so glad to restore your faith in red! Whats your fav color? Maybe the gods of poetic words will strike me with a line or two of inspiration to write a little something about it.

BTW, I sent an email about your experience and didn't receive anything. Did you get my email?

HA! My favorite color is "periwinkle"
Yes, for real

Periwinkle is a desaturated color in the blue/indigo/violet family. Its name is derived from the lesser periwinkle or myrtle herb (Vinca minor) which bears flowers of the same color.

This is a life-giving plant whose components are used in the treatment of cancer.

Periwinkle is also called lavender blue. It may be considered a pastel indigo.
The first recorded use of periwinkle as a color name in English was in 1922.

Crayola introduced it to the public officially in 1949 and it now ranks #7 in popularity of crayon color it's attributes are said to be serene, purity, infinity.

email.. um, nope but I'll go peek now....
be right back.

update:
Email received, and I'll reply as soon as I find some quiet time
I'm a momma of 3 and work fulltime so hang in there, LOL!

Oh no hurry FreindInSpirit. Sounds like you are busy busy busy!

Periwinkle is beautiful! Heres a little perwinkle poem

Prose In Periwinkle

Oh periwinkle
Which words will
dutifully conspire
To don the credit
Upon a color
Whos presence
Gives back life
And Inspires
Oh Periwinkle
Created from
God above
Such a beautiful
Form he gave
In a blossom
For us to love
Oh perwinkle
So brilliant
Yet
subdued
I feel your
Sweetness
Your goodness
Thru and thru
In a hue
In a
Rainbow
A color in my room
Oh periwinkle
I am sure
Even angels
Smile when they
See you
A sliver
Of blueish and
Purplish
Intertwined
In the sky
oh periwinkle
The color
That gives such
Beauty
To our life

Thanks for the compliment. I just like to write silly ditties in general and also just jot things down when life gets too heavy. I feel it clears my mind when I do it.

I have written 3 childrens books in rhymes and have been trying to find a company to produce them. It is so costly. Ironically, one of the books is based on a color which was my fav as a child, its called "My Purple Crayon" (Almost Periwinkle! )
