A Colour Poem

Lime is your broken ankle from your bright lime high heels.

Pink feels like candy floss that's a long smooth beard.

Green is the luscious lettuce in my salads.

Green sounds like the water dripping into the sink.

White is the colour of a beautiful wedding dress flowing in the wind.

Orange is the colour of the Statue of Liberty's torch.

Orange is the x-box controller.

Blue feels like the Steelblue ladybug crawling on my hand.

Blue sounds like a rushing river flowing by.

Gold is a goldfish swimming in its glimmering pond.

Gold is the flesh of a kiwifruit.

Red is my angry brother.

Red is the tomato in my burger.

Silver is the wolf howling at the moon.

Brown sounds like coconuts dropping to the ground.

Black is a leather jacket you wear when you're riding a motorbike.

Grey is the smooth scales of snakes.

Grey is like a thunder storm erupting the city.

Purple brainwaves.
