A 'colour inspired poem' I wrote for the school faeries... I like my vampire girly, but the 'paraded flames' nonsense annoys me... And I put the word 'breasts' in... Bad Danny!

She slipped, silently, stealthily,
away from the pulsating colours of Mardi Gras.
Vibrant dancers;
Reds and yellows, paraded flames;
Blues and greens, an exhibited sea.
Gaudy beads exchanged
for a glimpse of pale breasts.
Purple
for peach.
Flesh illuminated by passing performers.

She did not bear witness to this sight.
Eyes, coloured like the Absinthe fuelling the revelers,
beholden to a different prey.

She leaped from the shadows,
living cloak of raven-coloured hair
trailing behind her.
The doomed child, with the golden locks, screamed.
Ivory teeth glinted in the dark of the alley.
A fountain of scarlet mingled with the colours of Mardi Gras.

very interesting. I myself have been to Mardi Gras like five times. Once on Fat Tuesday in New Orleans. Lovely, this poem really captured what Mardi Gras is really like. Especially the bead exchange for pale breasts... lol very good.
