I love you blue,
Holding arms aloft to
Let spring breezes waken you.
I love you misty grey,
Moving through the shadows
At the dawning of the day.
I love you puce!
Mouth and hands stained purple
By sweet summer berry juice …
I even love you green!
Dressed as Hermann Munster
For the kids at Halloween …
I love you Christmas red.
Face aglow and haloed
Hair, with silver tinsel threads.
I love you taupe … ?
Sorry …
Nope!
