COLOURS (a series)

RED
Chestnut hair sticky
with blood on the white tiled floor
Victim number three

ORANGE
Autumn sunset glows
the bright orange flames roaring
leaving charred remains

YELLOW
sand for miles, as the
heat kills you, scavengers wait
to pick your bones clean

GREEN
In the undergrowth,
cannibalised remains of
the explorers rot

BLUE
Under the frozen
lake she lies, a half formed scream
on her cold blue lips

INDIGO
Deep blue and purple
bruises mottle her corpse.
Her husband did it.

VIOLET
Under the UV light
Blood smears flare, floor to ceiling
Body still missing.

WHITE
The bride lies broken
at the base of white cliffs, her
veil twists in the wind

BLACK

In the middle of
the moonless stygian lake
a gentle splash sounds

BROWN
Hearing the thud of
Mud hitting the coffin lid.
From inside of it.

GREY
Dark suited men take
the tiny casket to its
final resting place

PINK
Large florid faced man
Found slashed and stabbed with shears
Then fed to the pigs

TURQUOISE
The calm turquoise sea
now churned up and bloody from
deadly shark attack

RAINBOW
She dies watching a
prism rainbow dancing above
the bloodsoaked bedsheets

GOLD
The gold film award
matted with blood and hair of
the now dead actor

SILVER
Hit by a silver
bullet the werewolf lets
out a final howl

BRONZE
No-one will suspect
the bronze statue hides my
husbands dead body

COPPER
Copper coins placed in
both victims eye sockets to
confuse the police

NEON
Death at the disco
A drug cocktail overdose
under neon lights
