Exceptional Chromatic associations. My Rainbow by Terry Reilly True Colors writing prompt entry Artwork by avmurray at FanArtReview.com

Fire, danger, sexy lips.   Luscious fruit with gritty pips.   Cowards, custard, 'nanas too.   Ireland's forty shades of hue.   Sea, sky, shedding tears.   Facial dye, provoking fears.   Fragrant flower, shrinking maid.   My rainbow all these hues displayed.

Warrior Scots painted their faces with indigo obtained from the native plant woad, to intimidate the English aggressors. (Have you seen Braveheart?) Violet, a common flowering plant.
