Poetry Charades: Colors

Write me a poem about a color...without using the name of the color!

Rules:

1. No line limits, but I'm especially interested in poetry forms rather than free verse.

2. Don't use synonyms to escpae saying the color's name! For example, if you're writing your poem about "red," don't say "scarlett" or "crimson" in the poem.

3. After reading your poem, I'm going to guess which color you've written about. Feel free to let me know if I'm right--or not, as you prefer.

4. Enter as many times as you want!

Now get out there and write some colorful poems!
