“Oooh, aubergine! Oh, yes, please!! I dare you!!”–Marcia
It’s different from the other color poems I wrote, as it’s a bit more challenging, but hopefully it still brings some color to the blog. 😉

Aubergine
Another word for eggplant
and used to describe
that same shade
of reddish purple brown
which doesn’t resemble any egg
I’ve ever seen
(The name comes from white varieties
because language more often
than not
seems designed to confuse)
The glossy fruit
makes a tasty parmigiana
The color ornaments a variety of objects
bridesmaid dresses
flowers
paint and decor
both lovely, dark, and deep

I KNEW you’d rise to the challenge! Aubergine, indeed. A lovely sounding word that feels good on the tongue, and a beautiful poem, too. Love your color poems, Caitlin. Thanks for sharing, as always.

I did say I would–though of course, you had to pick something pretty difficult!

You know me and difficult. Now if you could just find an eggplant that’s all tortured and angsty, I’d be in heaven! 😀
