Another poem!

So, the creativity kept flowing, and I wrote a Quatern for the "starting a capsule wardrobe" square on the Public Activities Card for Fresh Starts Bingo Fest.

Four Fresh Colours
a quatern

It's time to get dressed for the day,
trying out a new colour scheme.
Black, grey, maroon, and lavender;
let us see where the day will lead.

A shirt and a skirt get picked out;
it's time to get dressed for the day.
Silky maroon and darkest grey,
the rest awaits another day.

The shirt goes first, long flowing sleeves.
Then the skirt, falling to her feet.
It's time to get dressed for the day,
blood red earrings finish the look.

As the closet closes for now,
she sees the lavender and black
waiting patiently for when next
it's time to get dressed for the day.

Thanks! :D It didn't go where I first expected, but I'm very happy with it. I thought the form fit the prompt nicely, because the first capsule wardrobe I thought of was the 4x4; 16 pieces of clothing, 16 lines.

I think I managed to convey what I wanted to, really used the prompt, AND successfully fulled a structured form! *happy flapping*

You did! I could see myself in that colour spectrum eventually...

Bonus! The black and grey was modelled off my own fondness for them, the maroon because I like dark colours and it's pretty, but I wasn't sure about the lavender. I wanted something that wouldn't clash with maroon, even if the two colours weren't necessairly together. I think it'd be okay though.
