Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
~Rabindranath Tagore
This week we have a simple approach to The Thursday Think Tank. Lately we have been a bit complicated and could possibly be limiting some of our member’s creativity with our prompts. We have decided to bring it back to simple.
Our prompt is color.
Whatever that word inspires in you we want to read it. What’s your favorite color? What is the color that you last see when you go to sleep. Colors remind us of seasons, our lovers, the good times and bad times, so much of our lives are bathed in color. Share some of those colorful moments with us here. We look forward to reading your poems.
If you have a prompt idea that you would like to suggest or share with us please send it to poetsunited@ymail.com . We keep a folder set aside with all your suggestions and just might use it one day.
There 3 simple rules:
1. Don’t link to more than 2 poems per week.
2. Please visit some of the other poems linked here when you link to yours.
3. Leave a comment after you have posted your link.

Yes, Simple is good:) I saw the first word, Clouds, and got all excited - being a sky-watcher........will think on color......but methinks some clouds are going to creep into this poem somewhere!
ReplyDeletelinking with an older poem that I happen to like :) - I do love this prompt, thank you
ReplyDeleteThis one is part of the on going history of the Tired Monk.
ReplyDeleteOh a new Mr Linky......a treat for you kids, just posted some glorious Tofino beach photos for your enjoyment! Sigh. Made me homesick!
ReplyDeletecool!
ReplyDeletelove this.
I found this hard, I kind of went in a dream like direction, but I may write another one, when time permits~ Interesting prompt ;-D
ReplyDeleteI've linked a poem I wrote a very long time ago, back when I first started experimenting with words. I splashed a lot of colour around back then :)
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of childish fun with this. :-)
ReplyDeleteRobb, I think color is an important topic. I wrote my poem today after contemplating your topic. I took it in a different direction than most, but I truly believe it is an important direction!
ReplyDeleteThis is from the Square Corner archive. Hope you like a blue sky.
ReplyDeletei have a haiku for this prompt. a quick read for everyone. :)
ReplyDeleteI awoke with mine in my head, inspired by my man's beautiful eyes. :-)

My Poems
My wallpaper art Babes!
Sexuality introduces Death to Being; and indeed Life simultaneously. This is the profound Myth of the Eden. The work of the Serpent. Bringing us out of "blessed" Standstill. So, in contrast to the mindless pietism of vulgar Christianity, my personal "Christo-Satanism" should be given serious thought by the Enlightened Few, the Pneumatics, the 1% Outlaws. The Light Bringer must be rehabilitated, beacause if not, the All of it simply doesn't make sense: true Catholicism is necessarily Meta Catholicism.

My inspiration for this one was a wonderful family and their wonderful sense of humor...
ReplyDelete:-)

ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence! Your theme is color and I just wrote a poem which - like most of my poems - has a large focus on color. It's in the title lol.
ReplyDeletewonderful prompt enjoyed reading so many of the entries.
ReplyDeleteI chose a poem I wrote last May to a crayon box prompt, one of those poems I wouldn't have written without a prompt, and am glad I wrote. http://victoria-andnowpoems.blogspot.com/2010/05/color-poem-six-atomic-tangerine.html#comments
ReplyDeleteThis prompt brought to mind, some unpleasant experiences I have had in the past few months.
ReplyDeleteI am posting quit late but colors. I have a great poem for this theme called "Dating Blues" :)
ReplyDeleteRobert,
ReplyDeleteSorry that my poem has been posted a little later than usual. I have had a mixed week of some of the good and the sad aspects of life.
I enjoyed the time spent with the 'taste and flavour' of my words!
