Colors Of The Rainbow(And So On)
Write a poem using any nine colors. If you need an example I have written a poem, which is actually the reason I started this challenge so you can check it out if you would like. But you can use the colors in any way as long as there is nine of them. It can even be monochromatic, you can use the same color but different shades. Get creative!

Bro, This Tastes just like Purple

I took the Blue to taste the Red, to clear this Green from out my head,

with a Yellow beige my body begged me to close the shades,

my mind was way too displayed for 4 p.m. Tuesday.

I was in search of Purple, that violent violet,

a Himalayan high for all the clever kind kids,

I grew up in a barrage of whiteness,

so I welcome colors with bright lit eyelids.

I popped a pill called "To the Nines",

with the Reds, the Blues, the Greens I liked,

with a hint of Orange, and Burgundy,

I snaked off the couch in serpentine.

That Burgundy turned a dark Maroon,

when I felt I could hardly move,

but then the Lime came in with light,

and fed me warmth to feel right.

Then in the stretch of a forever moment,

I was swimming in that Purple emotion,

I figured the cost of this joyful token,

was to hold it after I was awoken.

As soon as it hit, that moment caved in,

and inside my room, my friend Frank came in,

and about his day he was explaining,

but I was dressed to the nines and my mind was racing,

so I said, "Hey man, I hope your heart holds nothing hurtful."

He said, "What?"

So I replied, "Bro, this shit tastes just like Purple."
