Pen Pals

Many purple poets with so much to say
Can’t read them all but teal try anyway 
I heard red heart beat from white page
Was in your cherry chest but I felt it anyway

I green gain from poems good and bad
I like them short long strong happy sad
I like them peach weak very inspiring 
Like comforting soul food hot filling

I read your poems like a yellow song
I imagine your face voice singing along 
The comments section is the best
Love it even when it’s rude and a test

Because we can grow despite brown dirt
We can fly like lime kite from good word
Of special importance writing since my youth
I’ll keep at it while reading your words too

I love the beautiful, interesting way that you incorporate colors into your work, Karen. I enjoyed the final two lines of the first verse, and I also loved the final verse. It's so nice to be your pen pal. Blessings.
