Purple

A strange word that chooses to be different
Brave
Unlike any other word

Purple refuses rhythm
Rhyme
Gender
Ethnicity

Purple plays well with others, but has its own opinions
Unique
Individual
Majestic

Purple forces the mouth into a curling kiss
Punctuated with teeth and tongue

Purple is soothing
Aromatic
Calming and clean

Purple shows up when you least expect
And when other colors may make you cry
Purple will continue to bring a smile
