My Box of Crayons

As emotions unfold my color changes,
My palate  blends from day to day.
From Mellow Yellow to Fiery Red,
The mood of living gives it play.

Mondays may be vibrant orange,
As inspiration  sparks a thought.
By Friday blue in tone and voice.
Depending what the week has brought.

On rare occasions I am Grey,
With steely eyes the world I see.
Then Pink as hope again is born,
In a Rainbow world I'll always be.

I am struggling to find a word that is worthy of its write. What i do like to observe is what we differently see in other poets writes. In this poem, exceptional is as proud a word as any > i never in my life imagined a crayon to be a wonderous as this, thank you Barbara Gorelick,xx >> James
