Quotes about purples
Relaxation
The purples of dusk,
A warm, gentle breeze,
Slow-moving clouds,
Clusters of trees.
The dark hues of night,
So solemn and vast,
Feeling at ease,
At last, at last...

Pretty little ponies
All the pretty little ponies,
Blacks and gray,
Purples and bash,
All the pretty little ponies,
They would run under the sun,
All the pretty little ponies.

Backstreet Beauty
in Abbotsford
Rusty corrugated iron fences
concrete slabbed
loading bays
of old factories.
In pitted courtyards
disdainful weeds
sprouting
gaudy and tall
through cracking tarmac
purples and yellows
mirror-imaged
in oily-puddled
potholes.

Something Missing
I remember I put on my socks,
I remember I put on my shoes.
I remember I put on my tie
That was painted
In beautiful purples and blues.
I remember I put on my coat,
To look perfectly grand at the dance,
Yet I fell there is something
I may have forgot----
What is it? What is it?. . .

Reveries of an Imaginary Landscape No.17 - Awaiting Purple Rain
Purple, hundreds of purples
flowering, blooming, ripe
spreading in effervescence
The sandy earth waiting
for little drops of purple drifting down
and slowly blanketing the terrain
The darkening petals dancing to the lightest tune
tempted, ever tempted to jump
never to return

Butterflies Are Good (taste A Little Like Chicken)
Butterflies are real good
I like God’s butterflies
I so really, truly do
Beautiful, iridescent wings
Of brilliant rainbow hue
Carmine reds, deep purples
And unbelievable blues
I feast my eyes upon
Their most incredible views
I feast not only my eyes
But also my belly too
For they taste absolutely scrumptious
In my salad and in my stew

Ah, Teneriffe!
666
Ah, Teneriffe!
Retreating Mountain!
Purples of Ages—pause for you—
Sunset—reviews her Sapphire Regiment—
Day—drops you her Red Adieu!
Still—Clad in your Mail of ices—
Thigh of Granite—and thew—of Steel—
Heedless—alike—of pomp—or parting
Ah, Teneriffe!
I'm kneeling—still—

Look, Look
LOOK LOOK
Look look
The flowers the trees
The greens the purples
Listen to the lines of Hopkins
Greater than mine
Vermillion on Mishmar Ha- Am.
Walk in happiness on the way
To pray in the morning.
And later when the davvening done
Write these lines down.
As if they were soothing shades of yellow green light
Recollected in tranquility
Under a light blue Israel sky.

You're right—
234
You're right—"the way is narrow"—
And "difficult the Gate"—
And "few there be"—Correct again—
That "enter in—thereat"—
'Tis Costly—So are purples!
'Tis just the price of Breath—
With but the "Discount" of the Grave—
Termed by the Brokers—"Death"!
And after that—there's Heaven—
The Good Man's—"Dividend"—
And Bad Men—"go to Jail"—
I guess—

Forgotten
Dame's Rockets grow atop her grave:
Pinks, whites and purples flourish here
in this cemetery enclave
where no one has visit in years.
Her oblique, weatherworn headstone
stands aside a nearby roadside
hidden amid weeds, unbeknown
to motorist who pass where she lies.
An effortful deciphering
failed to clarify her birth year
Born April first [obscured] in spring
Died forgotten this much is clear
except for these fragrant bouquets
that perfume above her grave today.
