Colors Of The Rainbow(And So On)
Write a poem using any nine colors. If you need an example I have written a poem, which is actually the reason I started this challenge so you can check it out if you would like. But you can use the colors in any way as long as there is nine of them. It can even be monochromatic, you can use the same color but different shades. Get creative!

Deuteranomaly

Same world

Different eyes

Met with a choice

Of a blouse tainted olive

And a pale bluebell hue

"Color does not define

who you are"

Emblazoned in bold

Cinnabar letters

Right across

The front

I evaluate carefully

Which matches better

With your favorite

Mauve lipstick

And the pair of shorts

Concrete gray

You bought

Just a while ago

I chose the latter

But you disagreed

You preferred

The apple green

Over the sky blue

Because

You said

It brought out

More of

The scarlet print

Plus

It looked cuter

You thought

With your favorite

Magenta lipstick

And the pair of shorts

Concrete gray

You bought

Just a while ago

I agreed with your choice

You flashed a smile

Then I realized

It mattered little

Which blouse

You ended up with

Since

You will always

Be beautiful

And perfect

To me
