What do you think about when you think of purple?

Remember, I'd love to see your drawings. 

Here's a poem I love:


Lullaby by Eve Merriam

Purple,
Purple,
Twilight
Sky light.

Purple as a king's cape
Purple as a grape.

Purple for the evening
When daylight is leaving.

Soft and purry,
Gentle and furry,
Velvet evening-time.

Purple,
Purple.
Sky light
Goodbye light.

Dusky
Musky
Into night.
