Time is purple
Just before night…
Gold is the sunshine
Light and thin
Warm as a muffin
On your skin.
Brown is the color of work
And the sound of a river…
You can hear blue
In wind over water…
Pussywillows are gray
In a velvety way.
Red is a hotness
You get inside
When you’re embarrassed
And want to hide…
And when you’re angry
Red runs through your head.
Green is the coolness
You get in the shade
Of the tall old woods
Where the moss is made.
Think of what starlight
And lamplight would lack
Diamonds and fireflies
If they couldn’t lean against
Black….
I chose this poem because I think it is fabulous. It makes me think that this is actually something very important-but it is not. ( It sounds like it is important.) The rhymes make it fluent and magnificent! Plus I think it has an impressive ending. The word choices in this poem makes me think - think hard. Some lines are just funny and don' t have any depth, but I still think that this is a gorgeous poem because the topic is ''COLORS'' - not love, not hatred, not longing. Also I think that this poem is more artistis than ''Color''.
