Colorful Words

Caramel is silky and smooth.
He flirts with almost everyone, and pretends that his pick-up lines are the best.
They’re not.
When he interacts with Smoke, he’s extra flirty.
Only because Smoke is shy and awkward.
Well, he thinks she’s cute, too.
She doesn’t like talking much, and prefers to be alone.
Warm, oversized sweaters are her favorite, and she’s most comfortable sitting outside.
Smoke spends most of her time with Eggplant, who is very angry and reserved.
He fights off Caramel when he can, but he can see Smoke fancies Caramel.
She still denies it.
Every once in a while, everyone will gather at Ruby’s house.
Not to be blunt. . . but. . . she’s a little too lusty and rude.
That’s why Caramel doesn’t like her.
He only appreciates those who appreciates themselves.
Such as Coral, Butter, Cornflower, and of course, Smoke.
During winter, Caramel likes to go to Gingerbread’s home and relax.
Gingerbread makes REALLY good desserts, and her house always smells like sweets.
In a way, she’s the grandmother of them all.
Their grandfather would probably be juniper.
He tells crappy jokes and winks a lot.
Smoke thinks he’s funny.
Caramel gets jealous.
Eggplant knocks him in the head and tells him not to be.
Caramel doesn’t get why he shouldn’t be.
Eggplant rolls his eyes and gives up on explaining.
He has his own female problems to deal with.
They even have a name: Peach.
The two would be an unlikely match, but Peach’s bubbly attitude with Eggplants flat one makes sense to him.
So he runs after her, just like Caramel runs after Smoke.
Both are nervous.
Caramel, for once, isn’t flirty.
Eggplant, for once, isn’t mean.
They both open their mouths and let their feelings known.
Peach giggles,
Smoke blushes.

The feelings are reciprocated, and the world has two new sets of colorful lovers to care for.

High School with Colors



Black is dark but will speak their mind if needed.  Even if it hurts others feelings. Blue is happy and excited almost too much for its own good.  Almost to much that it’s hard for others to believe it is truly happy or if it’s an act. Green is cool and doesn’t care about much.  Behind the glasses is a sweet guy everyone judges. So green boxes the sweet guy up and leaves him for later. Yellow is rich and popular everyone follows it but once they leave their friends they are alone again.  Red is shy but has a great personality. A personality that no one sees. The other colors are popular and don’t notice red. Everyone has been these colors whether it was for a short time or not. At one point or another, you were alone, lost, judged, forgotten, or even called an act.  But you are you and that includes the ups and downs.

Night Sky


“Azure, turn the light down,” Oxford Blue commanded, “It’s time for you to go to bed. I have to get up for work.”
 “But Dad! I don’t want to go to sleep yet! The sun is still up for another half an hour.” Azure complained.
 “I don’t care if the sun gets to stay up. You live under my atmosphere and you are going to turn down the brightness when I say so. We go over this every night.”
 “Fine. I guess I will if I have to!” Azure agrees with sass.
 “It’s not all about you,” Midnight Blue explains. “The pale blobs have to go to sleep soon, especially the really tiny ones.”
 “The ones like me?” Azure says as he begins to fade into Persian Blue.
 “Yes, son, the tiny ones like you. That’s why the sun disappears each night. The blobs have to sleep just like you do.”
 “That’s fun,” Azure sighs, suddenly exhausted from a day of hard work. “Keeping the world bright is such hard work Dad.”
 “I know, Bud. Eventually you won’t have to be so bright - you’ll fade to Prussian Blue and you can stay awake for a long time like me. But don’t you worry about that. For now, you get to sleep.”
 “Okay Dad.” He says with a yawn. “Goodnight.”


 “Goodnight, Buddy.”
