Lavender -- Challenge Poem
What does red and blue make?
Red and blue make purple they say
A violet hue akin to
Field of lavender, beams your way
Hands of red amid hands of blue
Each has a story of its own
Telling it silently to you
None is alike, not all made known
Everything you can imagine
Children all, each a precious stone
Together sweet and sour wine
Vulnerable, at play today
Squint a little, lavender lined

Today I'm linked with Hannah at Transforming Thursday/Friday with Nature's Wonders
where she tells of Lavender Fields and the Lavender Plant. Then she tells us to write as we are inspired by reading her page.
Note: The hands are actually prints of adults, workers at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in the Woodlands, Texas. Click on the picture and you can see their individual signing. In my poem they would be hands of children, each representing a child, as that is what I can "see".

The thought of blue and red mixing to purple of lavender when squinting my eyes.. I like that thought - maybe it could be used more in politics too ;-)
Squint a little, lavender lined
wonderful Jim
luv the sounds of this poem, a nice read aloud
much love...
I like the pattern ~ Specially admire this part:
Hands of red amid hands of blue
Each has a story of its own
Telling it silently to you
Love those little hands...precious indeed!! Thank you, for joining, Jim!!
I volunteer two days a week in a kindergarten. I see the vast renditions of uniqueness every time I step onto that campus. You illuminate some of the best aspects of that setting.
How precious. What a lovely place your muse took you for the challenge.
love that last line... squint a little.
I really like that second stanza! Cool angle, Jim.
"Children....each a precious stone." So true!
Lavender is a very lovely colour, Dr & Mrs Jim :)
Anything lavender lined is "happy"
