Dance with me on the edge of ROGYBIV
For Indigo feels appropriate to cover the lackluster palette that has shaded my spirit.
Instead
Dye my dreams
Kiss my tinted mouth
Color my world
Circle my waist while the trumpets blare and the beat of the drum matches time with our rhythmic steps; pull me closer to you ; pushing away those cloudy days and the gloomy grey of the uninspired place below us.
Red is the color of passion
Yellow is the color of joy
Violet is the color of the comfort you bring me
Wrap me in that rainbow.
Over at Lance’s place, he is celebrating 500 posts and recovering from a MAGICAL Disney vacation.
My friend, Jen, from Jen Has a Pen, picked the 100 Word Song: Dave Matthews “GREY STREET”
The lyrics belied the upbeat place this song took me because of the melody. I saw Katie grey and then pushing through that color to a rainbow of shades. It’s all artistic expression anyway right?? 
(and a poem from Katie to Lance since Marian Kent at Runaway Sentence and her book of poetry “Responsive Pleading” has me swooning with prose these days. BUY THE BOOK! )
Finally, thank you Tiina, for reading this more times than a friend should. Your feedback and help is appreciated. xo
awwwww! so glad to inspire, honored, really. and also? I am here to tell you that your poem has a soundtrack!
OMG, I love it!!!! What an awesome day, really!
“Kiss my tinted mouth” – Why did I totally picture Lance and Katie when I read this?! I think I may be obsessed…completely obsessed!
Kristen,
can I just tell you that I am having so much fun writing this story lately, BECAUSE OF YOU, like if I ever make a book (YEAH RIGHT) you are getting a place on the dedication page. I’m glad you thought of them, since Katie did send this to Lance…obsessed is good, it will keep me writing.
LOVE YOU xoxo
Beautiful. The words you chose are very vivid, juxapistioned against the interpretation of the song. well done!
you know I worry so much when you come over..”Will he like it?” “Did I do it right?” “Does he think I’m dumb?” so when you do, I let out the breath I’m holding until I read your comment.
thanks for just reading my stuff…it’s appreciated more than you know.
You’re very welcome! You know how much I like sneak peeks. You write about love so beautifully.
YOU! My amazing friend, thank you. I’m so glad you liked it…don’t worry I have plenty more to show you.
thank you for saying that,about the way I write, Love seems to be somehthing I “Get” for better or worse.
I never respond to the song in a way I would expect. EVER. I loved this color dance.
that’s actually good to know, when i just read the lyrics I normally go a totally different way if I listened to the song and/or read the lyrics.
I’m so glad you liked it. Thank you.
<3
Also, Marian's book is on its way to my house. Yay!
ahhhh, thank you sweetie.
and you are going to LOVE Marian’s book. I am still swooning.
Wonderfully lyrical. I couldn’t help but smile as I read this.
I am smiling reading this comment. Thank you for it, I’m so glad you enjoyed reading this Tara.
hee hee…you need to fix the acronym: it’s ROYGBIV (switch the G and Y)
Fun take on the prompt. Color is always preferable to grey
oh of course….you should edit all my stuff. I’ll fix it.
I just couldn’t write GREY while listening to that song. It was too happy in melody
Oh Kir, I love the way you use words. Truly!
That was simply magical – it made me smile from way deep inside. Thank you =)
HI my friend, just so glad to see you over here to read. Always NICE when you visit.
Thank you!!!!
This fits in so nicely with your story. I love poetry and I too love “Responsive Pleading” A stunning book of poetry and it surely inspires one to prose.
oh I’m actually listening to a local (to her) radio station read her poetry from Responsive Pleading right now and I adore her. I’m so glad you liked this and I’m so glad I got to spread my prose wings. Your comment means so much to me.
