Colours

Purple, once a favourite,
has sunk in my estimation.
The ladies may toy with it
in their old age and freedom,
but it seems too loud for me
and I, in advanced dotage,
prefer the quieter tones
of blues and greens.



Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 02.28.25
Prompt: Write a poem about purple.
