Color

I go to a poetry reading every month. Next month's "theme" is color. It is a subject I love, and think about alot. I could write volumes on it. In fact, i was sort of worried that whatever I wrote might be to much for many folks, so I wrote a poem with RoyGBiv in it. Everyone remember Roy G Biv? Your art teacher in school taught it to you as a way to remember your colors-
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet.

I wrote the following silly thing-
Ruby eyes
Opening in darkness
Yellow teeth gleam
Gaping maw
Biting deep
In
Violent fury

I am still thinking about color, I just have so much to say about it. The silly little poem will work if I feel silly but I know I am not done with this subject.
