Background:
Five shades of the same colour, kept distinct via navajo plying. The “rebellious older women” in the story is a reference to Jenny Joseph’s famous poem.
Story:
What does purple mean to me?
It means Parma Violets,
Tanzanite,
Rebellious older women!
Suffragettes,
Lavender bushes,
Spanish bluebells,
Twilight,
and Summer midnight.
So if you ask me why I like purple, that’s my reply.
