Prompt: 52. Write a poem using 8 different colors. - 8 points

A flag proposed by Harvey Milk

To represent him and his ilk

A flag to boldly be unfurled

And make a statement to the world

That just like colour we are each unique

Individuals, yet as a group bespeak

A chance to write another story

A fusion, as in nature's glory

Of turquoise, red and pink or green

Together yet apart still seen

As one united where goals convene

To celebrate what we know exists

To greet diversity with hugs not fists

To understand we're more alike than not

And adopt a more considered thought,

Toward peaceful, joyous lives aspire

To nature's rainbow, we all admire

From yellow to mauve - indigo to pink

A radiant cocktail for our eyes to drink

Where all the different colours blend

Into a harmony of beauty in the end

****

Let's not forget we share this rock

Put down the guns, instead let's talk

Because if we don't, just one thing's true

We'll all be coloured . . . black and blue!

A/N: I think I was given a senior's pass because they aren't all colours - some are shades
