Welcome to the next round of our contest. We must bid goodbye to Kailasa and Empathic Rose as they declined to submit limericks in the last round.
This round is open to the following poets.
Artis
Laura Lamarca
Lost Rainbow Char
Pearl-Dragon
RatherImaginative
Sulfane
Since you six poets were willing to venture outside of your comfort zones in the last round I will offer you something you may enjoy more.
For this round I would like 8 - 10 lines about a Color.
Here are the rules:
1.) You may choose any color
2.) You cannot use the name of the color or any synonym for its name in your poem or title.
3.) You cannot mention the color in your author's notes. Your poem must convey which color you have chosen without further amplification.
4.) Please use imagery and metaphor. You cannot include a picture to illustrate your color.
5.) Free verse or rhyme -- your choice.
Treat each other and all other poets on this site with respect.
Plain backgrounds look professional.
Use imagery, not images with your poem.
As this is a rounds contest, I want to know who you are: please put your USERNAME in author notes. If your name has changed since the last round please put both your old and new names to avoid confusion.
Good luck and have fun.
