Ode to Cookies

{Post 72/365: Original Post: HubPages}

warm and tantalizing fresh out of the oven

smell of chocolate, spices and sweetness

ginger snaps, thumbprint cookies,

gingerbread, pfeffernusse

and speculaas

dipped in chocolate, covered with icing or powdered sugar

rolled and cut out with cookie cutter shapes

russian teaballs, lebkucken

spritzgeback, sugar cookies

and christmas or other holiday cookies

good with a hot cup of tea

crunchy or melting in your mouth

stroopwafel, shortbread, butter cookies

lady fingers, coconut macaroons

and chinese fortune cookies

ooey, goey, soft and chewy

or dunked and softened in cold milk

digestive biscuits, empire biscuits

peanut butter cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies

and the ever delicious chocolate chip cookies

GREEN is the colour of GROWTH

{Post 43/365: Original Post: HubPages and Verisimilitude}

This is the colour green:

peppers

a field of long grass

rows and rows of green grapes growing healthy

the taste of fresh limes

sweet summer pea pods

the smell of freshly cut grass

tall trees...long standing sentinels of time

lucky four leaf clover found

patches of clover in the grass

vines clinging to trellis, walls and fences

rocks overgrown with brilliant green moss

the taste of fresh sugar snap peas

the aroma of freshly broken herbs

new spring buds on the plants and trees

RED is the colour of LOVE

Red

This is the colour red:

sweet red summer raspberries

tulips in the sunshine

sparkling red fireworks on Canada Day

fresh apples plucked from a tree in the orchard

deep red roses and hearts of love

juicy ripe red strawberries in cream

beautiful shiny red and silver ornaments on the Christmas tree

round red cherry tomatoes

red hot chili peppers

the big man in the red suit- ho ho ho

the attractive leaves of a Japanese maple

more of the juicy sweet berries

warm hearts full of love for the holidays and family

RED is the colour of LOVE and home.

Purple IS...Calm Solitude

Calm Solitude

This is the colour purple:

crocuses in the spring

the sweet smell of lilac wafting on the breeze

power

purple tulips

the colour of a queen

clover in the grass

brilliant purple fireworks in the sky

one part of the colourful rainbow after the rain

vibrant reflections of the depth of my soul

purple is mystery and magic

purple is the feeling of calm and solitude

BLUE is the Colour of PEACE

{Post 13/365: Original Post: Verisimilitude}

This is the colour blue:

Dark night sky behind moonlight

Flowers of blue

The feeling of peace and comfort in jeans

Juicy sweet blueberries in a bowl

The sound of waves

Beautiful butterflies of blue

Cool blue water in a pool

Clouds in the deep blue sky

Blue is the cool comfort of peace.

What colour makes you think of happiness...

{Post: 12/365 Original Post: Verisimilitude}
I seem to be working on the theme of sunshine lately!
I think the colour yellow is happy.





This is yellow:
Sunshine...
the colour of a smile.
Our favourite smiley face is yellow.
Beautiful friendship roses are yellow.
The leaves turning colour in autumn.
Sunflowers.
Day lilies and buttercups.
Man's best friend is a yellow lab.
A muskoka chair on the porch in YELLOW.
A fuzzy little yellow duckling.
and even cuter the tiny little chick.
The smell and look and feel of a fresh yellow lemon.
Tulips and Daffodils.
A bright yellow Lamborghini.
Fresh yellow pears.
Mums.
Wildflowers in yellow.
Butter melted on popcorn.
Rubber ducky in the bathtub!
Sweet yellow bell pepper...
Crocus and yellow butterfly.
Yellow is brilliant and bright JOY!
