Indigo mauves

Poem

By Sam GilbertPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

You've got mauves that

maroon with a swoon

Violet the blue yonders to

reveal vermilion moon

I've got hell taupe

and cannot stop cyan

Cobalt and claret both

alabaster the byzantine

Come at me fuschia,

lime with my ecru

Play a tangerine

with this dandelion dude

Time for carnation to

scarlet me for days

Where do we indigo when

satin with the greys

Sway and slay, hot cocoa

into lavender silk

There's mango puree

under this snowdrift milk

I seafoam at the mouth

with your bubblegum chews

Throw your indigo mauves

you've got nothing to blues

surreal poetry
