Workshop 4/3/08

Fran brought this challenging workshop: Select a color, write a poem about that color without mentioning it. See if the group can guess the color.

I don't have Fran's or Chris' efforts (in future posts, we'll include workshop work from all members) but I'll post my piece:

your eyes when you wear your favorite sweater

are like

that great picture we saw, 

remember?

lace-like macro

with morning’s dew or 

afternoon’s  late rain;

clinging dollops made large by the extremity of 

the close up; 

are like

the still lake across the street

its surface covered

with velvet that 

somehow reflects the sunset

flipping the bright

to deep forest hues;

are like

a corn field before the cobs come

endless ocean 

winds causing waves

and children running through

emerging with hair and clothes frosted with 

the color of your eyes

when you wear your favorite 

sweater

Can you guess the color?
