Spectrum of sonnets for Sulen

Spectrum of sonnets

Red.

 

Crimson, vermilion and carmine

all very different shades of red.

Which human vision an define

oft in a single flower bed

Rose gardens can provide a feast

.A sight to delight world weary eyes

It doesn’t matter in the least

 not every rose is worth a prize.

The shades of red which they display

 are far to numerous to count

 Each beautiful in its own way

all contributing to the fount

of floral beauty on display.

 Each hue has its own part to play.

Orange.

 

A colour which nature will employ

 In many, many different ways

The Jaffa’s which we all enjoy

and flowers which attract our gaze.

A shade which some how fits between

dark yellow and some tints of red.

 But show up best against the green

in any garden flower bed.

A word impossible to rhyme

 which has left poets in despair.

Attempts have proved a waste of time

 but personally I don’t care.

It is a word I often use.

Much to the disgust of my muse.

Yellow.

 

Yellow beloved of the sun

Quite often forms the centrepiece

 around which nature paints for fun

Bright colours which are sure to please.

The gorse bushes in shades of gold

show off the waste land at its best.

What finer sight could you behold

the differing tints add interest.

The paler hues of the primrose

 although they shyly try to hide.
The vibrant colours of the rose

 displayed with arrogance and pride.

The shades of yellow nature

 chose cannot be bettered I suppose.

Green.

 

The multi varied shades of green

which nature can and does display.

In spring time when she sets the scene

to introduce her latest play.

A stage director without peer.

She even paints the scenery

 With subtle touches here and there

of brown amongst the greenery.

Though shades of green predominate,

 they blend,contrast and complement

Just as she deems appropriate

to demonstrate her main intent.

 Provide a background to enhance

new born spring flowers as they dance.

Blue

When twilight falls and night draws near.

Familiar landmarks disappear

into the hazy lazy blue.

which makes you see the world anew.

There is no sign of brown nor green

no other colours to be seen.

The world consists of shades of blue

 from indigo to palest hue.

This is the magic hour when

men are allowed to see again.

The fairy host as they pass by

 in cavalcade across the sky.

I watch them ‘til they fade from view

 lost in the ever deepening blue.

Indigo

 

From all the shades of blue I know

and there are many shades of blue.

The darkest one is indigo

 a colour nearer black than blue.

This is a colour I would use

but only as a last resort.

In keeping with my sombre views

 when writing a critical report.

It must be useful in some way

but what that is I do not know.

I much prefer a lighter blue

 but what you choose is up to you.

 

Violet.

 

Of all the purples we can get

by subtly blending red and blue.

My favourite is soft violet

.The perfect colour in my view

 when I am painting wet on wet.

As artists often choose to do.

An old technique still in use yet

 Which can produce the exact hue

which I can use to paint for you

 A still life that you won’t forget,

this is the goal that I pursue.

To be to nature’s colours true

 a perfect mix of red and blue.
