Rainbow Cake
she was plain on the outside;
basic and white
she had many layers of moods;
hid out of sight
luna violet for violent howling into a twilit night
it was safer to be honest with strangers;
who never saw her in the light
deep indigo for her confidence is too low to let her skin show with might,
she weeps herself to sleep like a willow until tears seep into the inside of her pillow, ineluctably trite
ultramarine blue she acts keen too, in fright, standing in an umbra tundra strewn from a nefarious moon to cause contrite
emerald green, imperiled and mean out of spite
a malevolent queen who sees detriment and disesteem with delight
chartreuse yellow;
she holds shards of truth sour like morello when she shares a bite
an hour of dour barred by the playing of a cello after seeing you with foresight
orange apricot she’s soft, over emotions she thought she lost, but not quite;
aeriform turns to frost as warmth declines with exhaust, overnight
candy apple red,
she recites playful rhymes in her head that excites
she does does it every time the moment feels right

Delicious
Absolutely delicious.
Very creative using colors to define many layers of this woman.
I enjoy the use of rhyme and slant rhyme in this piece!
This is lovely and full of life!
