Prompt 8: Color

Tulip by Sian of Spin A Song of Sixpence

This week's prompt of color comes from My Bellavia.


Thomas' Artistic Prism
He shares masterpieces,
rainbows and smiles,
painted with shades of truism.
Love gathered hues
and living color,
there is no space for darkness here.

His happy life goes on,
ever missing shadows
that cloud typical minds.

'Tis him, who shines in awe
through a prism,
coloring my world with his!


We also offer these haiku that treat the subject of color. Have fun!


Going deeper
And still deeper —
The green mountains.
Santoka Taneda


Splendid affinity
sun's great halo
green leaves
Sôen Nakagawa

  3. Spring color emerged into the sudden warmth of this week. Before that,though, the promises of spring color were every bit as beautiful.

    I'm looking forward to another week of sharing the creativity road with fellow contributors. Thanks for being here. Have fun!

  11. Didn't write anything new because I already had this - which seemed such a perfect fit. Is that lazy???

  12. This is the first time I'm participating in your prompt. Found your site through someone else's blog. I'm still fairly new in writing poems so, I'm glad to find other people with similar interest.

  19. MyBellavia is one of my sisters. I've been encouraging her to do more writing for years. I finally convinced her to start blogging on our sister blog. Next I created a blog for her so she would have a forum to do her writing! One Single Impression has had such a positive influence on her. She's having more "me" time to express herself. She's been out of the loop for 20 years raising special needs kids and I so wanted her to find herself again. Thank you all!

    P.S. I just noticed that I'm not listed on the BlogRoll yet.

  20. What fun!!! Once again I've contributed on each of my blogs this morning with Colorful Comeback at Small Reflections and Colorful Images of the Mind at Sacred Ruminations.

    I look forward to seeing what everyone else did with this week's theme ;--)

    Hugs and blessings,
