It's A Fauve Mauve Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

it's a fauve mauve

or mint green, a fauve pink

or aquamarine

a sudden sunset wave of apricot

dream on oh dreamer in the splash

of colours gleaming laughingly lavishly

bubbling over the pavements of

my winter mind

the tidal pools of the fauve mauve

lavender at its best,

the cream cream yellow.

at its crest I love you whispers the rainbow

slightly askew, the paints thickening isn't it wonderful

to the children, touring the Great Museum

who came a far distance to see them.
