Sepia Memories

Submitted to :dVerse Poets Poetics For today’s prompt, let’s grab our paints and mix up a poetic palette using color. Hosted by Victoria  

Sepia Memories 

Sepia memories are all that's left, 

Since you departed and left us bereft,

Times that were once bright and alive,  

Being drowned out struggling to survive, 

Red's and blues somehow refuse, 

To prick my brain even infuse! 

The things that I see all about, 

Seem muted, dull, nothing shouts out! 

What replays back in my minds eye,

Are memories drained of colour and dye, 

Within my soul tho is my scarlet, scorching love,

As I dream of you in a soft auroral light above,

Sepia memories I will accept and keep, 

Until we're both reunited in heavenly sleep.

Pippa The Posing Penguin 

Jinksy

Pippa the penguin dreamt every night
Of little sprites that weren't black or white
They usually danced and pranced
In and around her bed
Sprinkling  stardust occasionally upon her head
Then one very, very, snowy, snowy night
Pippas dream seem different real, somehow bright!
The little sprites who weren't black and white,
Sprinkled the stardust up and down and all around,
      They got all together and made Pippa laugh like a clown,
They tickled her toes,
her tail ,flippers
and then her nose
The stardust stuck and created a sensation
Pippa was a star in her snowy,snowy nation
 In her two tone world of black and white
Pippa was front page news overnight !
