The color purple conjures images of regal grandeur, mystique, and luxury. Purple can be used as a metaphor for royalty, power, and artistic expression, adding depth and richness to the poems.
The color can also represent individuality, creativity, and non-conformity, celebrating the unique and unconventional aspects of life. It becomes a symbol of artistic expression.
‘Iris’ by Sujata Bhatt is a narrative poem with lyric qualities. It depicts an artist’s wait for the sun to come out and bring out the colors in a single iris.
Her hand sweeps over the rough grained paper,
then, with a wet sponge, again.
A drop of black is washed grey,
cloudy as warm breath fogging cool glass.
