Color Poetry

 

Colors:

 

Below are some examples of the wide range of poems that can be constructed around a single color. If nothing else, this is a good exercise in observation. Too often one overlooks the wonderful descriptive powers of color

 

EXAMPLES:

 

Purple is the Rose Bowl parade;

Purple is summer shade.

Purple is playing with Barney.

Purple is riding on my bike at twilight.

Blue may be sad;

Orange is the start of fall day.

Yellow is the July sun;

Black is when someone is dead;

Gray is someone in dismay.

Pink is happy.

Red is rosy

Green is a jelly bean.

Colors you see can be anything.
