Holi Hai!

That lovely parrot green,

The purple of a royal queen!

A sprinkling of golden yellow

A dash of turquoise blue below.

The colourful, intoxicating fusion

Suddenly created confusion

And made me realise,

That it wasn’t awfully wise

To wash together,

all those new clothes!!!

Fetch me a stain-remover,

before I receive a dose!

    colours that run
    can be so much fun
    as it creates fashion
    which arouses a lot of passion

    Ally- Thanks, and wish you the same. He he!
    Urmi- I can always fwd it to him ;-)
    PRG- That was cool! Or should i say ‘hot’ ? ;-)
    Ganga- Thanks for your generous compliment(s). Ofcourse I am not a poet. What started out as another 55-er turned out into a bit of forced rhyme so readers wouldn’t get bored :-)
    Usha- Whoa! That was really cool! Wish I could think of something brighter to say!
    Kavitha- Thanks, buddy! And happy holi.
