Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Color Me Happy

Color my day magical, paint my day lavender.
Throw in some glitter, some glitz and some fun.
A day with good friends, who laugh at the right times,
Who know when to hug, and know when you need to cry,
Staying silent, standing helpfully, lovingly by.

Color my day joyful, and enthusiastically prancy.
I know my friends are coming, so I am feeling quite dancy.
Color my day exciting, color my day glittery with acrylics and neon.
Paint it in fun, wholesome and spectacularly freeing and fine.

Color my day.
Paint it lavishly with oranges and purples.
Throw in plenty of pink, of the hottest and happiest hue.
Color my day magical.
Color it marvelous.
Color it wonderful.

Here are my friends.
Let’s paint them,
But save some of the color
For me, as I want to be as magical
As possible. Rainbow me up. Be daring and wild.
You cannot hurt me; I am a rainy-day child.

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 18, 2019 at 1:27 PM Hello Caren, I found this poem to be quite delightful. I loved the way you used colors for imagery! I loved the way you described friendship, too. Nice work! Caren Krutsinger February 18, 2019 at 3:02 PM I am an artist, a painter, and I love playing with color; it delights me and turns me inside out in lovely ways. It naturally had to fit into poetry if I was going to try it.
