Welcome to the blog post challenge.

Below is an example of a blog post written by Pie.

Go and open the blue door,

maybe there is –
an eye staring back at you,
the sky waiting patiently
or a kingfisher diving.

Go and open the yellow door,
maybe there is
a primrose forging promises,
a canary singing
or a shred of lemon tingling your tongue.

Go and open the red door,
maybe there is a field of poppies,
one fiery eye fidgeting
or a tomato peeling back its skin.

Go and open the white door,
maybe you’ll see a barn owl’s face,
a blank page
or a clown’s mask waiting.

Go and open the black door,
maybe there is an ebony cat,
charcoal fingers fumbling
or a cloak made of shadows.

Go and open the green door,
maybe there is a tuft of mint,
an emerald catching the light
or a cactus surviving.
