November Chapbook Challenge Day 11: A Two-fer in Dark and Light

 Today's prompt from Robert Lee Brewer: Write a "color" poem. So here are two poems - one a bit somber and the other more light-hearted.  


Gray
 
gray
showery day
when I pick
 
up
her ashes
all that's left
 
gray
like her
face and fur
 
sometimes
I'd complain
when she'd need
 
a walk in
heavy gray rain



Roy G. Biv
 
I'm
spectrum mnemonic
a household name
 
red
orange yellow
always the same
 
green
blue indigo
hue-ordered arch
 
violet
wraps up
a colorful march
 
awestruck, you've reacted -
I'm sunlight refracted
