Colors Of The Day



Sunday is a golden maize, a bucolic wonder.
Sunday is a time to laze in quiescent slumber.

Monday is a cobalt blue, an aquatic specter.
Monday is a time to woo with delicious nectar.

Tuesday is a pristine white, a monastic milieu.
Tuesday is a time to right by corrective virtue.

Wednesday is a smoggy brown, a mesmeric plunder.
Wednesday is a time to frown on production blunder.

Thursday is an emerald green, a fantastic jewel.
Thursday is a time to preen with elegant fuel.

Friday is a flinty black, a majestic mountain.
Friday is a time to track a headwater fountain.

Saturday's a ruby red, an acidic citrus.
Saturday's a time to spread the jovial circus.
