Colors

Helllllo!

So, these are basically poems I wrote about different colors! Enjoy.

Purple

Purple is

an amethyst

sparkling in the sun

an inconspicuous flower

still unique

lilac or violet

or sweet periwinkle

daughter of blue and red

although a secondary color

still beautiful

a dot on a butterfly’s wing

a tinge on a mountain

cool and calm

dark and light

Emerald

Emerald is the color

of young bamboo shoots lifting in Chinatown

the gecko singing in the night

and the ilima bush opening in the garden

when I see the color emerald

lush grass

a polluted sea

gems sparkling in the dirt

come to mind

a jungle

right after a rainfall

a forest

full of noises

never silent

a “boy” color, they sneer

to the girl

writing a poem

about

emerald

Yellow

Yellow is brightness

A bright face, happiness shows

Yellow is a smile

Brown

A swinging monkey

with dark fur

a small girl

bronze skin, matching her hair

they meet in the dirt

the sand, the soil

and build with wood

the warmth of friendship

and brown
