Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Have you seen the colours dance and sing?
Oh the wonder and joy they bring!
Ubiquitous, they chatter and spread.
Everywhere you look, feel, taste wherever you tread.
Have you met purple and heard his vivid resonating song?
Brown is a person who enjoys cacophonies of noise.
Red is fetchingly draped in royal robes rich and long.
Yellow switches to austere mode with a formal voice.
Blue. He is solemn and never resisting.
Green is productive, always making hay while the sun shines.
Orange is never relinquishing, always persisting.
Pink dares to dream bold dreams in her mind.
When these unique colours are combined
Their painting is complete.
A visual symphony,
You will long to meet.
