Colours
Written June 1999.
The colour of vegetables bright and crispy
The colour of sickness showing in your face
The colour of leaves so pure and smooth
...Green
The colour of a sweet delicious clementine
The colour of a flower in the garden of eden
The colour of the sun setting at dawn
...Orange
The colour of a flower that sways in the wind
The colour of a tulip proud and delicate
The colour of a healthy person with glowing cheeks
...Pink
The colour of the last rainbow stripe
The colour of the violet in the bouquet you hold
The colour of the locker that is deserted
...Purple
The colour of blood that tickles down your knee
The colour of a shirt that no one seems to like
The colour of the flashy car that just drove by
...Red
