Radiant Orchid
I found a new hair color
a metallic I hadn’t tried before
and my first day with the color
I saw a picture posted of me
sitting in the sun
a corona of radiant orchid waves
haloed my head as if a spotlight
shone down from above to capture
this aura of ultra violet entwined
with lavender moon, punky plum,
and 24 shades of purple
a glow I fell head over tresses
in love with, adore this miracle
galaxy of color and light, I order
more of this sensation
this conditioning color that nourishes
my hair, strengthens it, protects it
and I know it’s the right thing –
it’s half off – I buy three and I’m
in orchid heaven

Love this!!!! your descriptive colors are fresh and lively and is there nothing better than a sale on some essential beauty item?
Thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
What are you an android? a poetry writing machine? How can anyone write a poem this gorgeous at the end of 24 hours of writing poems??!! 🤩
I am lol’ing! I have written a poem a day for over 19 years. 24 poems in 24 hours is just a fast-track of what I am always doing. I love this marathon… and yes this last poem is a fav. Many thanks!
Great use of color💜💜💜💜
Nicely done. Very descriptive.
This made me seek your author photo! Going to have to use my imagination!
I always envied those who dared to color their hair like this. My neighbor did and it looked lovely but…I didn’t dare. Sigh. When did I get so old?
It is truly the most fun I have ever had. Try it… it’s like poetry, good for body soul and mind! Thanks for commenting!
Sounds lovely. I wish you’d included a picture.
I did try… it’s on the Poetry Marathon master picture page and I coldn’t move it to mine. Trust me, picture radiantorchid and that’s it. Thanks for commenting!
If it’s one I’ve seen, then it describes it perfectly! Our Purple Poet!
Yes, indeed == thanks!
