Colorful Language

Black sheep tell white lies

and serve red herring.

Hotheads see red and turn blue

before swearing.

🔴

Purple squirrels

don't get pink slips.

The golden goose

won't lay goldbricks.

🟠

The green-eyed monster

wears rose-colored shades.

Little green men

turned out to be grey.

🟢

Scarlett walked the red carpet

and in a green room relaxed.

Then after that

faded to black.

🔵

A redhead named Sienna

borrowed something blue.

Now she's tickled pink

with Rusty her trusty boo.

⚫

Ruby read a black-market

little black book

whited out by a blacklisted

yellow-bellied crook.

🟡

Rose got caught red-handed

with a green thumb

Growing garden-variety goldenrods

outside her brownstone.

🟤

Purple rain fell from gray skies

out of the blue

onto a colorful character

named Hue.

🟣

In a purple haze

Misty strains to see.

To be clear

Crystal needs transparency.

⚪

A world of words

under the microscope --

Symbolism. Prism.

Kaleidoscope.
