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!

Flavor

Sitting down at the counter, I'm overwhelmed by all the colors.

Tentatively, I sample dark green, stark white, and bright orange, dipped in near jet.

It is soft and smooth, the colors familiar yet new in this setting.

More colors are delivered in a neverending carousel.

I take a transluscent white with the barest hint of silver.

It is firm and flavorful.

Next is a dark pink, nearly red.

Hmm, not a fan.

Another transluscent white, this time with a streak if crimson on the side.

This might be my favorite yet.

Even with the surprising discovery of light green inside that sends a sting up my nose and waters my eyes.

Another bright orange but with the top layer burnt to a pumice and flecks of black.

A dollop of ivory tops the buttery treat.

Okay, that might be my favorite.

A cheerful daffodil passes by, and so do small droplets of shiny red-orange.

I barely glance at mauve.

I take a thin, opaque yellow to cleanse my palette, a sip of moss green, and reach for a striped cream and tangerine.

Another old face, but definitely a welcome one.

Thus ends my first journey to kaitenzushi.
