Colours In Every Flavour

entry picture

A magical and vivid world
so colourful and bright
My favourite little shop
makes the most welcome sight

A kaleidoscopic array
of silk, cotton and wool
Always taken by surprise
by the choice so plentiful

Like a child outside a sweet shop
temptation draws me in
Wide eyed, yet I am blinded
just where should I begin

Colours in every flavour
a display beyond compare
To choose one over another
would surely be deemed unfair
