When you look around you, what colors do you see? Can you name more than three, shall I point out a few? I see a golden sun against a sky of blue. White is an easy one when clouds come into view. Grass grows emerald green, and sand is beige or brown. Water runs clear when clean; grey stones lie all around. A monarch butterfly flaps orange and black wings. And a jade fly darts by as I spy other things. A yellow bumblebee lands on a purple bud. And tan twigs on a tree hold cherries red as blood. Now, it's your turn to play "count the colors you see." So Kids, what do you say, 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
