Friday: violet

by imagist on May 4, 2012

neither red nor blue
this secondary hue
invites both
to mingle and dance

Am I the only one who finds the word “purple” dull and uninteresting. I truly love the word violet and especially “ultraviolet.” It seems totally appropriate sitting on the opposite end of the spectrum from “infrared.” (while ultrapurple simply does not work at all)
