PURPLE POEM

Purple is the color for today.
My daughter is having a blue day,
So I bring her purple flowers at work.
The card attached is purple.
She is wearing purple.

I am reading a book with a purple cover. 
I am drinking red wine dark enough to be purple.
My dinner is stir fry made with red wine
That turns the white chicken purple.
It's Friday, and I am so tired my eyelids are purple.
I have a bruise on my foot that is purple.
My toothbrush is ...
Okay, my toothbrush is not purple,
But purple is the color for today.
Now that the sky is purple,
And today is over,
Purple can still be the color
Of blue days and red wine and white chicken
Long after the day ends.
