Poem Title:
Poem
The colors were talking. They felt out of sorts. None of them had Good news to report. Blue’s smile was missing He was “feeling down.” Brown felt like “dirt” And was wearing a frown. White looked quite pale And was feeling bland. Yellow was hiding under A big pile of sand. Green was wondering Why all of the rest Looked so brilliant While she looked a mess. Black was despondent And felt like “death.” Purple felt lifeless And like a “train wreck.” Red was floating And spinning around Emanating anger Without making a sound. The Color Fairy flew down From the sky up above And gave a stern lecture That was created from love. I want all of you To stop crying right now. You all should be happy And positive and proud. Blue – you should be happy Because you “are true.” Red – you should spread love Instead of floating 'round “in a stew!” Yellow – Stop hiding, and honor the sun. Green – You are healthy and as good as anyone. Black – It’s your contrast that allows other colors to shine. White – It’s your crispness that often delights the eye. Purple – Your many shades bring beauty to all. Brown – You are a cozy color for a dog, cat or shawl. So – stop your whining. You know what to do. Make the world stronger, prettier, better And you’ll never lose. The colors started talking. They wanted to be “good sports.” All of them decided that – from now on - They would only have good news to report. They circled the fairy And lifted her high And all the colors glowed brightly As she waved goodbye from the sky.
