If I was a poem Would you red read me Would I be brown formed in your mind of mahogany Would I be about peace Would you read me often Your voice free green softened Or cold as old coffin Like ice black lung coughing Words within breast milk tossing Would you feed me dreams Calm cranberry blue black screams That I may achieve esteem Lavender life story fuchsia fantasy

If I were a poem, and you were a carpenter-lady, would you silver-hammer me into the nearest oak railing?... Colorful and creative write, methinks. Smiles, Gershon

So colorful. That was a great idea to use the many colors to describe yourself as poetry
