Notes About The Poem

Imagine yourself as a color poetry contest - Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

I Am Violet

If I were a color, I'd imagine myself being bright 
It wouldn't be brown, or yellow or white
 
It would be something kind of, like in-between 
A pinkish/red, or a Orangish/dark green 

Silver is too sparkly, and gold is too bold 
Bronze' not too shabby, but it'll make me look old
 
Purple doesn't cut it, nor does a light blue 
But I might like what color I am, if I mix the two
 
So, the color I'd be, is the color I'd get 
If I mix purple and light blue, I would be violet

I'm surprised this didn't make it to the winner's list. It has such a nice flow and fun vibes. Also, violet is my dad's favourite colour.
