Spring Pallete

Paint me in the colors of Spring-
Egg yolk yellow, and
Sugar plum pink.
Turquoise of the clear sky,
and in shades of saffron and honey.
Bordeaux of a butterfly,
sour chardonnay green.

Paint me with a kaleidoscopic pallete
of violet specks and golden hues.
Paint me in fuschia and lime,
in topaz and peacock blue.

Paint me like the spring rains, that draw out
ripeness in Mangoes, Beets and Apricots.
Birthing sweet fat health,
even from corruption and rot.

THIS IS WONDERFUL. I love the fullness and colorfullness of your metaphors. With each verse I read, I had a delightful picture of all the colors, shapes, sounds and even smells!!
I love it! BTW: nice to have you back :)
PD: I'd give it a score of 110 if I could ;)

Hey, stranger😛 how are you doing?

[Fernando Dardón]

Stranger? What da heck??? xD xD
I'm doing just fine, wondering when are you chatting with me again xD

[Fernando Dardón]

Btw, would you like me to convert yout poem into a song?

[Moonie]

Heya!.....i just saw this comment today..dunno how i missed it

[Moonie]

About the song...wow that would be so interesting😍...but it's really not that great of a poem to make a good song..

[Fernando Dardón]

Well, simple things can be as beautiful as complicated things, if you know how to use them. Then, just listen to "Love Me Do", simple lyrics yet wonderful song!

[Elizabeth]

Wow... I love this poem... It feels very refreshing and love the metaphors used. A lovely read

[Moonie]

Thank you so much!

[Elizabeth]

You're welcome :)

[Alessander]

Your diction is superb here

Bordeaux of a butterfly

This is full, ripe and vivid.

One can almost feel the vibrant colors, scents and curves.

Great job.

And I love the ending. Spring/life contrasted to "corruption and rot"

Good little reminder to indulge while we still can.

[Moonie]

Thank you so much! This poem was more of a quickie. Didnot pay much attention to the words. Glad that you still enjoyed!

[Chris Shaw]

A quick scribble most of us would never manage even if Sat for a week.

[Moonie]

Thank you so much for the review! ♡

[Relic]

A wonderful poem to rouse the muse. Your words are as sweet as the meaning. Love it. :)

[Moonie]

Thank you so much! It was rather a quick poem and did nothing to rouse my sleepy muse :'(
Glad you liked it!!

I liked the beauty you put in your writing. It was a bit difficult with some unknown words because English isn't my first language. At first I thought you were talking about actually painting a picture.

[Moonie]

Thank you so much for the review! I can understand your dilemma...i often experiment with learning new languages and search poetry and writing in those to sharpen my knowledge, and i can totally relate with you! Sorry for the delay in commenting though. Work keeps me too busy😔

Where's my paint brushes? This is an exquisite example of prose at its best - loved the stanza structure, word combinations and lyrical flow - a great read! Delicately beautiful … :-)

[Moonie]

Thank you so much! :))

It may not be a deep philosophical work but god damn does it read like smooth velvet on warm summer day.

I could read this over and over and over again.

[Moonie]

Haha thanks it was just a scribble without much philosophy attached :')
