Colour Me In

Colour is fading

I’m feeling jaded

Need to be

Coloured in again

 

Crayola box of six

Red, yellow, blue

Black, purple and

Green

 

Extract, place in lips

And pretend to inhale  

Like it's a cigarette

From a beautiful

Foil wrapped 

Packet

 

Peel off the paper

Use all the primary

Colours you need

 

Fill in the spaces

Make a rainbow

Follow the numbers

Smudge the lines

 

Just colour me in

With a Crayola

Box of six

Please

I feel it too, at times. You write without fuss, not maudlin or trying to force obvious emotions . Just superb

I can't grab the crayons on this one Mr Bibby. It is about a mother who has a brain disorder and wishes her child could make it all better with the basic picture he/she creates.

Brave to have somebody else do the colouring. Crayola gripped withtight knuckles bunched and tongue gripped between teeth beneath a furrowed brow. careful careful carefully don't cross the lines .. you will make her all fuzzy. ....ahhh too late she fuzzed and fuzzed . ....grab the crayons yourself lynn you will make better choices on colour combinations and borders. Make her fizz and fizzier
