Written in response to a Marshall Writers Guild monthly prompt for writing. . .
"The Color of Life". I had a box of 48 Crayolas on the table before me.
See the colors of Mid-America:
First comes Dandelion calling spring
Then Zinnia summer and Goldenrod fall
Sea-Green fields under Cornflower skies
Cantaloupe dawn and Timberwolf dusk
The Sparrow-Gray of weathered barns
Indigo overalls and checkered aprons
Chestnut horses wearing Mahogany saddles
May I add Snowdrift White and Angus Black?
Plus the swirling shades of the muddy river. . .
