Okay, I love how many community challenges/competitions/writing prompts have been going around Vocal at the moment and wanted to join in by creating another one.
So here is my simple but open-ended writing prompt:
Write a poem about a colour.
It can be a basic colour like blue, or a specific shade like cerulean. It can be about something or multiple things that are that colour or what you associate with that colour or even how that colour makes you feel. It can even be multiple colours, whatever you want.
This one isn't a competition, just a prompt, but I'd love for you to drop the links in the comment section if you take part, which I really hope you do!
Here's one to get you started:

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Here is one I did earlier in the year - https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/red-to-blue%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E - it's funny because I'm working on one about blue at the moment for your prompt and guess what word is in the draft at the moment (oxygenating...like your poem with Mackenzie hehe)
I have written many pertaining to colour, this was for my first Vocal Challenge but I forgot to enter https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/what-colour-is-you-canvas?via=mike
Wow, everyone's submissions so far have been incredible! I am excited to try my hand...What a wonderful idea, Poppy! It's making me remember our convos about words now, haha.
Smashing idea! Working on one now!
