Ponceau


ponceau: poppy red

Hello! So, this one's about poppies. Well, actually, the color, but poppies are cool enough to be this whole post's topic. The reason I chose ponceau was because, when I was in 5th grade, I was a munchkin in the local high school's musical (The Wizard of Oz). It was super awesome, and I had so much fun. But, there was the one part where the Wicked Witch poisoned the poppies to make Dorothy et al. fall asleep. In our version, the Wicked Witch sprayed a perfume bottle and said "Poppies! Poppies! Poppies!" It was wicked (haha, I'm so punny). So, that scene is actually what comes to mind when I think of poppies. Well, that and Inkheart (Cornelia Funke). And the Warriors series. But I won't get into those now...

So, again, I don't have a prompt, but yeah. Writing. It's good for you. Do it!
