Ugh... While it makes a good point, the rhyming and meter in that second poem is truly terrible.

Well dang me if that ain't a rhyme

Turtle?
bendyknee
There is such a thing a a yurple which is part of a bridle if I recall correctly, and has been used in a poem to rhyme with purple
Kheldarn
Wrong. Orange rhymes with Purple.
Maddie1992PSN
There are 2 words that rhyme with Purple. Hirple - to walk with a limp, and Curple - part of a horse's harness... Both go great in a poem

Kudos. My brother, the poet known as Tirepoet or Poetic Hermit would have loved to play this game! Google him! He died in 09 #imissmykirk

Man these Haiku's are terrible.

The concept of not having a name for a color so you call it an already-known color is why orange haired people are called redheads
lHaveAConfession
I had a gerbal who was fertile. His name was Myrtle. I also had a turtle. Although non verbal, they were still in my inner circle.
dumbinsults
Perhaps the population that spawned the culture without purple was colorblind. I can't differentiate purple from blue.

Ancient greeks had no word for blue. Fun fact
ltjektanoporkins
This is also why red heads are call red heads and not orange heads. Orange as a color didn't exist.

Last line. Bravo!!!!

Homer was centuries before Rome. So that person is still kinda right
GameOfLiesAndDeath
Is this how poets see who has the bigger penis?
ReifieR
Ok so we need a blue flower to replace violets.
Snooj
Then why not "Roses are red, hydrangeas are blue"?
BadBunnyLadyOfRocksTreesAndDirt
Hydrangeas can be persuaded to colors from mint green to magenta by soil acidity and aluminium. Great blues, but not _consistantly_ blue.
Snooj
Well, violets are never blue so it's a step in the right direction.
IMayOrMayNotHaveTroubleFindingAndOrChoosingAUsername
In e.g. Japanese, traffic lights can be considered red, yellow and blue (not green) (both IRL and in anime). A fascinating Wiki-article >>

Will someone link Eminem rhyming purple. It's fantastic. He does orange too.
feelingshooker
It's a slant rhyme. No discredit to his skills, fantastic wordplay. But a true rhyme is correspondence in terminal sound. Count purple out
LeSethX
I've heard that Orange also did not exist in English until much later (no source or date, sadly)
BurgermeisterMeisterburger
Too true! Which is why we have "redheads" and not "orangeheads". The name for the color comes from the citrus fruit!
InsufferablePedant
"Rhyming..."
koopaya
It doesn't matter if the words are real or not. As long as the sound is the same then it's a rhyme.

Blorange Hill in the UK, though it’s a proper noun. Also Hurple is a word falling out of most dictionaries now, but means a slight limp.
Brommith
None of those are rhyming with orange.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
He never actually rhymed the word orange, he rhymed a mispronounced orange + another word.
WellUrNotWrong
Door Hinge butt-fucking rhymes with orange!
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
It doesn't unless you bastardize it.

What is Dark Urple?
ReverseTrapTsukasa
Mauve. The color worn by Queen Victoria to the Royal Exhibition in 1862. This sparked the industrial age of fashion dyes.
Froglip
So... Mauve ends on urple?

You know, mauve, the universal color for danger.
