Colorful Language
By Matt Decker
Black sheep tell white lies
and serve red herring.
Hotheads see red and turn blue
before swearing.
đ´
Purple squirrels
don't get pink slips.
The golden goose
won't lay goldbricks.
đ
The green-eyed monster
wears rose-colored shades.
Little green men
turned out to be grey.
đĸ
Scarlett walked the red carpet
and in a green room relaxed.
Then after that
faded to black.
đĩ
A redhead named Sienna
borrowed something blue.
Now she's tickled pink
with Rusty her trusty boo.
âĢ
Ruby read a black-market
little black book
whited out by a blacklisted
yellow-bellied crook.
đĄ
Rose got caught red-handed
with a green thumb
Growing garden-variety goldenrods
outside her brownstone.
đ¤
Purple rain fell from gray skies
out of the blue
onto a colorful character
named Hue.
đŖ
In a purple haze
Misty strains to see.
To be clear
Crystal needs transparency.
âĒ
A world of words
under the microscope --
Symbolism. Prism.
Kaleidoscope.
