This is a fun challenge! I had thought at first that “monochrome” in photography meant black and white. It’s good to be aware of opportunities to be blue on sky or golden on yellow. (I feel blue on grey skies often, myself.)
Not to be confused with a soda of color, say Nehi grape or orange…
Here in the Midwest, ‘pop’ has another meaning. If I happened to have some, that would make a perfect combination for this theme! But the pop I have in the ‘fridge is 50/50, and it’s not even as colorful as Mountain Dew. So… back to the natural world, and natural liquids.
COLOR! Wow. Great photo subject! It is now April, and color is slowly returning to the palette of the Wisconsin landscape. Lawns are still brown and dormant, but the little Scilla Siberica is pushing up bright green and blue in my garden. Hooray! I’ve been posting black and white photos for months. It’s time for a change! I am definitely agreeable to embracing the rainbow…and you can take that as a political statement, too, if you’d like.

Happy April, everyone! And Happy Birthday to my son, Joshua – thanks for making my life more colorful!
…well, today I present: Purple Poetry. The prompt for today’s National Poetry Writing Month post invites us to compose a piece based on a color. I have to admit that my first response was to think of the goofy beatnik poetry in Ken Nordine’s Colors album, which Steve has. “Yellow was in trouble…” and “Green can be a problem..” If you’ve never heard these, you must. They’re just too much fun!
So here’s my own word association dream on The Color Purple (no, don’t think of Alice Walker):
