For the first time I’m switching away from people, and having some fun with my favorite color, purple. While I’m messing around with the format, everything I state in the short poem is true.


I’m so loyal to this color that it’s literally the only one I wear,

Plum, mauve, heather, I rock all of them,

Pens, lights, decor, you name it there’s a hint of purple somewhere,

Iris, orchid, violet I’m down with the full spectrum,

If we’re talking bucket list destinations,

how about Provence in Southern France?

Running through the lavender fields with elation,

that’d be the ultimate vacance,

What can I say about the color purple?

I’m so obsessed it doesn’t make sense,

It’s not hot red or cool blue it’s just neutral,

kind of like my personality, maybe it makes perfect sense.
