Wow...started out so beautiful with your purples coating both nature and actions... but that last stanza is like a punch to the gut for a smiling reader. Your offering certainly delivers an emotional roller coaster, Trisha!! ;) :) :) Yvette

With your love of colors, I bet you really enjoyed writing this piece. Dark purple is one of my favorites. The sight of it has an emotional impact on me. It makes me happy. Your portrayal of the color is rather negative though. I never thought of it that way. And you mention the movie "The Color Purple." I've not seen it, but I certainly know the plot. I never thought about where the title comes from. I've got to look that up.
You gave me pause with this one, Trisha. Seriously. Colors mean a lot to me. I enjoyed thinking about purple from your viewpoint.

I think this is a clever verse for the "Ekphrastic Free Verse" event.
You describe the color purple in so many ways you almost bring the color to life.
Well done and challenge well met.
Sharon

Your free verse talks about the beauty of all the purples that we are surrounded by, but finishes with a warning of purple pollution, ominous clouds. Well written free verse Trisha, nicely presented.
cheers,

If you want to avoid the 'end rhyme dilemma,' just rearrange some of your lines so that these would be internal rhyme. Make your lines a little less 'squared.'

You offered many good explanations for purple. Thank you for participating.

This meets the Club Challenge nicely as you deliver a well penned Free Verse on the color purple. There's a few spots of solid end rhyme pattern sneaking through this so you might want to look it over one more time if you plan on this book being pure Free Verse. Well done and thank you very much for sharing it.

This poem bridges a wide range of thoughts about the color purple. You begin talking about the beauty of the color and move into dealing with drama and end with dying from pollution. I think I'll focus on the more positive aspect. Thanks for sharing! Bill

While many of your phrases are effective, I think that the flow could be improved with better rhythm. For example, the last line could be reworked into something more poetic. That being said, I did enjoy reading this poem and appreciate the sentiment that "purple is nature's gift." The background color and picture highlight the poem very well. I gave this poem five stars because I did not feel that it was seriously lacking.
