splashes of red and yellow
bleed toward the center,
frilled petals fall delicately in layers,
swirling in bright stripes to make
psychedelic patterns.
color seeps out of petals edged in crimson,
replacing the soft blush with stark white.
yellow ocher mingles with red,
creating tangerine hues.
it was blue and green
it was blue
a navy sky speckled with glittering lights
deep steely waves capped with white froth
a worn pair of jeans, fraying hems, slung over bony hips
it was green
a pine forest, trees tucked tightly together, dusted in a new snow
eyes, sparkling like emeralds set beneath dark lashes
a majestic statue, its smooth jade figure frozen in place
it was blue and green
swirling together like an oil spill
twisting in meandering pastel paths
