Crayon Box Dreams

Written: May 27, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Miranda Hawley **************** Colorful crayons, the dreams of my choice, Chalk, white, and red allergens hurt my voice. Young hearts overflow with pristine lifetime, While learning about our gone past sublime. Like a box that cradles bright, varied pens, Transforming basic scenes with vivid stems. Shades of jade, azure, lavender, and gold, Turquoise whispers like oceans, calm and bold. Purple colors absorbed me as a child, Soft blue calmed all the troubles of my mind. Yet I shun the red; the shadow it casts, Recalls too well the echoes of the past. Same as how crayons fit in their holder, I give each dream its special space folder.

"Turquoise whispers like oceans, calm and bold." That line stood out to me as did your ending. Congratulations on your win in my contest.
