Color Treatment

(From Room to Write by Bonni Goldberg)

Prompt: Make two lists: One of colors that attract you, and one of colors the repel you. Choose a color from each list. Approach each of them from your other senses. How do these colors sound, smell, taste, and what is their texture? Which images that emerge can you use in a current piece? Or, begin with the word color and use it as a diving-off place. Or, write a poem or short piece in which every line or sentence mentions the same or a different color.

Colortry (Like Poetry)

From pink cheeks to crimson lips
Ivory skin hidden beneath white slips
A black heart behind slate shadowed eyes
Chestnut hair pulled away from all her russet lies
Gleaming navy irises shooting cobalt daggers
Sunshine painted fingertips and red hot kisses all that matters
Purple love and lust divine against a golden sunset sky
Midnight mascara lashes do hide all the silver coated tears she cried
Fiery orange betrayal revealed drenched in jealous emerald words
Sepia toned dreams long forgotten on the wings of ebony birds
A little of gray mixed with less of blue
She is Hazel, lost before she knew
