## Tonight's post is dedicated to @opehliafu
### *(For her vibrant use of color!)*
In fact, this post is all about color! The use of imagery in writing is something I rely heavily on. I have poems wrought with color, below. Other pieces have been gathered, for you tonight, that reflect color too. I want to post about the [Mantis Shrimp](http://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp) now, lol - check out the parody video below (it will change your life)!

<center>*Color Twig (Original photo and graphic art)*</center>
## <center>*Pink Rose (an original poem)*</center>
<center>Up above the candy sky</center>
<center>I see my sister lie</center>
<center>Floating on the cotton clouds</center>
<center>She is adorned in pink, silky shrouds</center>
<center>But I am not awake at sunset</center>
<center>To watch her drop her rosette</center>
<center>If it falls down, I think</center>
<center>I will be the next to lie in pink</center>

<center>*Color Mushroom (Original photo and graphic art)*</center>
## <center>*Experiencing Her (original prose)*</center>
<center>The pale of her skin</center>
<center>Upon the dress</center>
<center>Reflects the moon</center>
<center>Her eyes of</center>
<center>Midnight blue</center>
<center>Light the shore</center>
<center>Like the deepest oceans</center>
<center>And her lips</center>
<center>Express the joy</center>
<center>Of glistening roses</center>
<center>In the sun</center>
<center>His hand upon</center>
<center>Her hair is like</center>
<center>Molding untouched clay</center>
<center>And as the night shines in</center>
<center>Gold reflects everywhere</center>
<center>He whispers in her ear</center>
<center>Sounds of the softest sea</center>

<center>*Color Tree (Original photo and graphic art)*</center>
## <center>*Summertime (an original poem)*</center>
<center>Jumpin' bumpin'</center>
<center>The truck is thumpin'</center>
<center>Jive love is driving by</center>
<center>Juniper whispers blow in through the window</center>
<center>Glowing sunshine, golden yellow</center>
<center>Summertime is passing by...</center>
# <center>![Robyneggs_graphicart31](http://i.imgur.com/asoTUMI.jpg)</center>
<center>*Color Grove (Original photo and graphic art)*</center>
## <center>*The Night and Her (an original poem)*</center>
<center>Tip the scales</center>
<center>Bend the hips</center>
<center>Tall tales and red, shiny lips</center>
<center>Mr. Jangles</center>
<center>Hold your lantern higher</center>
<center>My heart, my soul is on fire!</center>

## <center>*A Favorite Place (an original poem)*</center>
<center>Falling all around are</center>
<center>Trees of ebony and fire</center>
<center>The wind silences as I become present</center>
<center>Everything goes as black as tar</center>
<center>I am beginning to prespire</center>
<center>And I feel hesitant</center>
<center>-</center>
<center>The place brings such joys</center>
<center>I never know what is next</center>
<center>Now I am in an open field</center>
<center>The flowers, perfectly poised</center>
<center>Swans with long, white necks</center>
<center>Nothing moves; all will yield</center>
<center>-</center>
<center>Like a Princess here,</center>
<center>They treat me fine</center>
<center>And upon a platter</center>
<center>Food is brought near</center>
<center>Speaks doth the pine,</center>
<center>Grapes or nuts? I recommend the latter...</center>
