Autumn's Colors
Red like stop signs
Like roasting hot dogs
Like holly berries and Christmas coming
Orange like fire
Like falling leaves
Like sun that sets the sky aflame
Brown like harvest
Like muddy waters
Like earth not quite covered by snow
Winter's Colors
Gray like clouds
Like curling smoke
Like runners on a shiny sled
White like snow
Like tops of stockings
Like sugar on a ginger cookie
Black like coal
Like dark, wet trees
Like the stove that keeps us toasty warm
Summer's Colors
Blue like sky
Like sparkling water
Like cornflowers and butterfly wings
Yellow like sunlight
Like fireflies dancing
Like picnic blankets spread in shade
Silver like stars
Like a glowing full moon
Like a sleeping bag spread under the sky
Spring's Colors
Pink like petals
like budding young roses
Like smiling faces on children fair
Purple like sunrise
Like full flowered violets
Like vestments at Lent in Grandmother's church
Green like hope
Like newborn leaves
Like springy grass newly unfurled
Okay, I really like this colors one, which is kind of surprising to me as I usually don't like free-verse. This one was good though.
