Colors Of Peace - 24 hr quickie

I took this picture of this mandella at Gibson's Landing this summer... it is a madella that is repainted ever year.... It represents visiting artists who pledge peace.

I won Peteskid’s All Day Quickie on colors http://allpoetry.com/contest/2373182

The theme is Colors and the challenge is to write in a way that will show things to the reader [ by use of imagery, senses, descriptions, metaphor and action words] rather than telling things to the reader.

I am honored to host this contest. I simply ask the Gold Award Winner to consider hosting a similar contest based upon having time and interest.

Judging will reward the poems that show by imagery, metaphor, descriptions, action words, use of senses, point of view and other styles or devices.

Fifteen entries, five prizes

400 gold
300 silver
200 bronze
2 HM

Springboard from the jpg but do not write about it
