Little-Known Fact MAG
It’s a little-known fact that no green’s without blue;
One needs a prism of colors to make a new hue.
From other shades we draw to concoct our own tincture;
Others’ palettes are used when we paint our own picture.
What dyes trade hands between painters are key;
The colors within shape what each painting will be.
Some painters share nothing but dark, stormy colors;
These ominous shades darken the image of others.
Others, still, give a sugary, shining rainbow;
Like candy, this paint is often too sweet to be swallowed.
The union of all hues is desired when finished;
A portrait of contrast is a thing to be cherished.

Loved it! It isn't too comical, which I like, and the ending is sweet :)

I love the limerick and the rhythm! I loved how you described the colors and how they are used! I really liked the line about how some are not as bright and are like thunder clouds.

I like the way the words flow...nice poem...
Hi. I really enjoyed the flow and rhyme of your poem. Also, the way you structured the sentences alike helped promote an almost sing-songey feel, though much more elegant. It was like... the second half of the sentence completed the first half, but it promoted the theme of contrast and beauty. Great job!
