Juan Olivarez Purple Poems

I walked on a royal carpet today
From the steps on my backdoor
Clear through all the potted plants
All brimming with purple bells
...

I behold a purple cloud
Extending over hill and dale
Never ending, far as my eyes can see.
...

Purple sage is a beautiful thing,
Flowering in violet,
In winter or spring.
...

A purple dragonfly, just caught my eye.
A sharp contrast to the clear blue sky.
He lands on a twig to rest his wings,
Unmindful of danger, and all other things.
...
