My Favorite Color

Fizzing with excitement
Teaming with fruity flavor
Zesty and delightful
My color is beyond compare

I am a painter, and cannot imagine
Any painting without it.
She colors lilies and dragons, 
leaves, and wild women’s hair
I lavish her upon a canvas with finesse

She does not hold back, and neither do I
We are exuberantly delightful.
We splash ourselves into life,
loving what comes 

We are zealous zealots
Making no apologies for our actions
Not as blatant as stop signs or fire trucks
A near relative but sunnier 

We need no glitter or sparkle
Our joy comes out in soul force
into the meadows in the form of tiger lilies
We are confidence, we are hope, we are delight

Beaks and legs of ducks are beholden to us
Harvest moon would be dour without us
We are glamour and excitement 
We are enthusiastically and unapologetically ourselves.

Harvest moon would be dour without us".You have given us a riddle with some clues in the lines above and I deduct that your favorite color is orange, a color of hope and confidence ! Great write, dear Caren Caren Krutsinger February 24, 2022 at 3:24 PM Yes for sure Valsa! You nailed it my friend!

L Milton Hankins February 23, 2022 at 11:26 AM And "we" are YELLOW!!!!! I was hoping it was Neon Pale Green. I love it...like in Granny Smith apples! My favorite color is GREEN. Green grass, green money, and green with envy for people who can draw and paint like you do! Caren Krutsinger February 24, 2022 at 2:21 AM Actually, my favorite color which I was trying to describe is ORANGE.
