To stain the stiff dishonoured shroud."

- Rewards: Gold: 490, Silver: 340, Bronze: 265, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: There were none here that did not deserve higher recognition then my commentary.
Each of the seven received astounded me
with their originality and marvelous
blending of colour to myth. Each poet
made the prompt there own and that truly
is what I always hope for when hosting
a theme. So sincere thanks to you all...
The other four finalists will receive
appreciation points from me, but no
greenies. I hope to see each of you return for my next colour theme. Thank-you, Blue

Well, my friend, I am intrigued. I will return to see if honor can be done to this theme as soon as I finish one about a kiss.
Love, Tom B. -

I would be thrilled if intrigue lead to words...
I can see you tenderly twisting this one. Blue

From Genesis to first kiss and then, away to this. For wisdom is found deep in a rusty red and then the words of golden bled spread across the sky to wake the clever young who sleep to dream and then dance across the dew that faries drink. So swift the draught of magic fair to keep the heart aware of all the dreams others might seek but have not the wings to beat to keep them fresh and alive so they can thrive in the innocence of youth.
Love, Tom B.
