Pink Planet Fantasy


Come with a smile,  
come with a wink.  
Come to the land  
of pink, pink, pink.  

Imagine  
yourself  
as a pale pink fairy,  
wearing an earring  
that's a pink clip-on,  
and real pastel pink petals  
held in your pinkie,  
pointing to the pink chink  
glow upon the horizon  
at dawn.  
The garden's dye this July  
is floral pink blossoms.  

And at times I do  
have such pinkish dreams,  
where everything is hued  
in pink ice-creams.  

Where I own a fine  
posh pink cadillac,  
parked in a pink chateau  
festooned  
with fallen pink lilac.  

That,  
overlooking  
a pink sea  
ebbing on pink pebbles,  
where a pink moon  
looks like big bubbles.  

In pink colors,  
if I could customize  
'n'  
personalize  
my world:  
so pink cushions all about,  
and pink curtains unfurled!  

My birthdays always wish  
for pink balloons.  
Oh, I love to decorate  
and celebrate  
with pink festoons.  

And nature lovers could watch  
salmon pink flamingoes  
who stand upon one leg,  
hiding  
half their pink toes.  
Or even bunny rabbit eyes  
in bright pink glows.  

Ah, pink's so feminine.  
Think of pink hair pins,  
pink lips 'neath two pink  
blush cheeks,  
right above cute  
chinny chins,  
or as buds in a rosebush  
take pinkish peeks.  

I see as well baby pink  
frocks  
and frilled pink socks,  
and pink pom-pom caps  
upon golden locks,  
their pink sashes behind  
them upon the walks.  

Ah, I've always believed,  
and still I think,  
that pinkish is girlish and  
girlish is pink.

Ahhh!! Originally pink was for boys and blue for girls but it was changed at some point in time to what it is today. I think that whatever color looks okay on a person or that they like should be enjoyed but alas, pink has been determined to be a color for girls. Enjoyed your creativity in this winner. Way to go. Congrats. Sara

I could feel myself getting pulled in to your pink world...love the images of the pink moon on blue...so pretty...very unique style as well :) I feel that way about purple...maybe because girls were always dressed in pink and everything around me growing up was pink...
