Notes About The Poem

Counting Colors

Hey kids, look around you; what colors do you see? There are way more than three; I will point out a few. I see a golden sun; high in a sky of blue. And white's an easy one; when clouds come into view. The grass is shades of green; and sand is beige or brown. Though water's clear when clean, grey stones are all around. A monarch butterfly flaps orange and black wings. There's a jade dragonfly; and I see other things. A yellow bumblebee; upon a purple bud. The tan twigs on a tree; and cherries red as blood. Your challenge for today; count the colors you see. Now, it's your turn to play; can you spot more than me?

I heard a melody as i read this, it flowed like a beautiful nursery rhymes song really, you have a very creative way with words. it inspired me to try this too … i especially love " A yellow bumblebee lands on a purple bud. And tan twigs on a tree hold cherries red as blood.“ wow! Amazing! And that ending is perfect. Top winner im sure, best wishes for the contest
