Color Poem

Green is a meandering creek through a lush grassy valley
Red is hot with devilment
Mauve is a soft and squirming newborn's cheeks

Brown is basically awesome
Blue is cool as summer's love
Lavender is a soft and fragrant blossom.

Sunshine is orange warmth
  with yellow and red sprinkles
Mauve is girly pink
  and yellow locks of delicate hair

Black absorbs and white reflects
Though ebony and ivory live side by side in poetic harmony! 


Inspired by "Yellow" written by David McCord
