Colors

flowering milkweed-
monarchs unfurl their new wings
to catch the sunlight

iridescence-
concentric rainbows
on the pavement

Colors

sunset on the lake
threading my wet fingers through
tangerine waters

salmon skies-
october morning
the hills ablaze

Colors

shades from dark to pale
each made up of the other
standing arm in arm

frigid night
streaks of fire
light the sky
