COLORED CLICHES

NEW THEME
Well, Arc, you've been tensed at the starting gate for some time now and since I do have some more in mind, but have been a bit under the weather, I say, GO WITH IT! BUT, let's include Kat's suggestion also..."metaphors". We can call this "COLORED CLICHÉS".

I thought I was dead,
I was red on the head,
as a Limey Double Decker.

But to my chagrin,
my only one sin,
was, I was a
Redheaded Woodpecker.

Silly? Yeah, but the best I can do off the top of my woodpecker head.
That's a start, I'm sure the rest of you can do much better.

Sorry to hear you've been under the weather, Smitty. I hope you're on top of it now.
This was a great idea, combining colors and metaphors. Now I just need to get on my
thinking cap between writing on a new book, which is taking most of my time. It's for
a contest that ends in Dec. I keep wondering if I'll be able to write 60,000 minimum by
that time.

I have to tell you that your ideas for poetry helped me to form one of my characters.
She's a little old lady who always talks in idioms. Your Odd Odes gave me the idea.

What? no colors OR cliches out there. Do I have to get out the purple whippersnapper? ( or is that People eater)

If you think your Colored Clitch is silly then you must think everything I post is silly? That was good compared to what I post Smitty!

This makes me pose a question - what IS a meta for?
Is it used to make some metal to build a bank vault door?

Is it essential for a METAzoan
or without the Meta, would we still be growin'?

Is it part of METAmorph
without the Meta, would I still be dwarf?

Maybe Metas serve to keep the lonliness away
when you can tell whomever: " Hey, I meta gal today!"

OK Guys, here's mine!

Red as an apple,

Blue as the sky,

Yellow as a banana

will do for you and I.



Red, blue and yellow

are the primary colors

of the color wheel

I told the fellow



Red and blue make purple

A beautiful color I feel

It is so surreal

It makes me bellow



Blue and yellow make green

Which is a beautiful citrine

When used in the correct ratio

they quite convene



Red and yellow gives you orange

This is a warm shade

That will make any painting serenade

And these are the colors of the scene.

Making like the roulette set
our resident flower makes a bet

Hoping for to win the deal
she spins the color wheel with zeal!

Round it spun like a kalidescope
with a clatter for an onomatope.

What shade came up do you suppose
a shocking pink - I'd call it Rose!
