My Go-To Color Is Neon Orange

Orange is my go-to color because I look smashing in it
Not anymore, but I used to when I was twelve
I had the most darling orange sweatshirt 
Probably disintegrated now after being sliced, washing cars.

I am an artist; and neon-orange is in every single painting
I am glancing around at my walls now to verify.
Yes, even the teeny rabbit painting has orange in it.
Actually orange is the main color of that rabbit, cows, cats, etc.

You thought a lady bug could not be orange?
Think again. It is my dancy-prancy-happiest color
I do not hesitate to wear it, mold it, and poetize it.
Obviously...

M. L. Kiser April 10, 2019 at 6:49 PM I love those bold bright colors; the more, the better. No, I am not a soft pastel person at all. Caren Krutsinger April 10, 2019 at 10:56 PM I am not either, but some of the things I have seen from other artists who are, is amazing!

Rhona Mcferran April 9, 2019 at 11:00 PM A fantastic go-to!! Orange always makes me happy... ;) Caren Krutsinger April 10, 2019 at 12:28 AM I wore an orange shirt today, thank goodness. I needed all the "energy" I could muster. Long story but I was gone from my home from 6:18 a.m. until 7:58 p.m. today.
