Epyllion

Ok, let's try to wrap our noggins around a challenge and flex our pens and fly our creative banners in the breeze of color!

Here is a new challenge for all of us to try. And the subject is.......

COLOR:

Pick your favorite color or maybe a combination of colors and construct a poem or short prose incorporating the color(s). Aim for emotion, animation, personality. Let's take color and give it a boost. How can we bring something so common and oversighted as Blue, Red, Green, etc. and give it voice?

Two week goal sound good?

Due date: 2/7/08

Happy Writing.

~BLUE~

So very deep and intricate
curving around the world just so -
described for the eyes of lovers who
never realized the way they moved me so.

And of the ocean -
a simple bliss
rolling so free and intimate;
I love this shade, for it's the
hue of my soul, you know.

When the night drags creepily
cowering shadows and nightmares at bay -
yet still my favorite, as colors go.
So deep and secretive when the moment's
right.

If ever I need to escape this place
I can slip into azure or cerulean or
powder shades or midnight depths and
simply fade away.

So infinite, it bounds me so
wrapped tight within its silken robes
pulling me and pushing me like the
tides as they flow-
building and spilling and creating
just so.....
