Writing Group: Colors

The prompt this week was to pull color swatches and write a story or poem using those colors and/or the names of the colors in the story. The colors that I pulled were named: Hunt Club (dark green), Turkish Coffee (rich brown), and Framboise (deep magenta).

In other news, if you are curious as to the update on my manuscript rewrite I’m on chapter seven with a ton of new scenes that I have written to plug in later.

I hope you enjoy this short poem. Happy writing.

Ripening under the sun
White flowers to 
Green clusters of premature 
Fruits, hidden among 
Leaves of deepest 
Verdant green
Shade so deep a hunter 
Uses it to melt in shadows

Berries swell in summer rains
Hanging from thin branches
Rich in shade as the strongest
Turkish coffee, climbing
Climbing, stretching towards
That life giving sun

Birds of a feather flock 
Searching for those clusters
Honeyed and enticing 
Deepening from lightest pink
To vibrant purple to stain the hands
The lips, as greedy fingers pluck
Framboise, raspberries from depths

Limbs scratched, protective thorns
Brilliant life blood clashing
Against sickly sweet fruit juice
Turning cloying
Under unrelenting heat of the sun
