Purple

A short love poem.

You’re a daring purple, 

Strong against the other hues of the evening sky.

You stood out to me the most,

As you held your own against the night. 

But I am only lavender,

I am soft and quiet, 

I am neither demanding nor boastful, 

But I have my place along the skyline; 

And as I rested there, alongside you, 

I realized we are simply shades of the same color,

Endlessly complimenting each other.

I've never read a piece that, like Chris said, humanized colors. It's really interesting!

Very nice! I really like the way you humanize colors and use them to express personality types. Keep up the good work!

oW the imaginary and self happiness ,a satisfied look to one's own self reveals in this poem very beautifully , really a nice job !

i love how you've used colors to describe people c: very lovely poem, with nice adjectives, too! by the way, for "complimenting", did you mean "complementing" or complimenting? ^^

[Chaise Nicole]

Thank you C: The symbolism is that my boyfriends favorite color is purple, while mine is lavender. We're very similar but he's more confident than I am, while I'm more soft spoken. I think I meant complementing, aha, thanks for pointing that out ^^

I really like this and the way you used colors instead of actually people.. If you get what I mean.

[Chaise Nicole]

I get what you mean :) Thank you!
