Interesting, can I hazard a guess at what it's about? Seeing as I don't have the full poem in front of me, I can't really say for sure, but I'll try anyway.
Purple usually refers to something unique, wild, interesting etc. as does plaid. You're saying life isn't always interesting and exciting etc and each day doesn't come in a "make your own" kit. I'm guessing that during the body of the poem you go into what makes life purple? I love your opening quote a lot, mainly because the fascinating images it depicts. I also enjoyed your closing. I was imagining the last part as a song, I even made up a little tune to it! In the last part you're menaing exactly what you are saying, I don't have to decode anything as far as I can tell. Congratulations! I can't wait to hear more from you!
Cheers!
