Pink
tastes like sour candies,
smells like bubble gum,
sounds like a sports car’s horn.
Pink feels like sunshine on a balmy day.
Pink says I can’t stop loving you.
Pink says I know what I want.
Pink says I’m ready for a new day.
White
tastes like cultured pearls,
smells like lilacs on a backyard tree,
sounds like a cloud hitting the ground,
feels like wool against my skin on a cool day.
White looks like pavement newly cleaned.

Yellow
tastes like melted butter on popcorn,
smells like a field of daffodils far away,
sounds like a baby shower,
feels like a sunny day.
Blue
smells like a fresh coat of paint
and tastes like cotton candy.
Blue is the calm after a storm.
Blue is my favourite cotton pj’s.
Blue says I’m happy.
White
feels like satin and lace,
and sounds like the soft ringing
of door chimes.
White is a cotton ball,
shaking Michael Jackson’s gloved hand,
footprints in the sand.
White says I’m married.

Dear Women's Writing Space writers,
ReplyDeleteWhen I need a break, or some inspiration, I visit your site and read some of your work. (Just one or two pieces at a time, to make it last – like a box of Belgian chocolates.) Sometimes your writing makes me smile, and sometimes it brings tears to my eyes (in a good way). Your words touch my heart and remind me that women are wise and amazing. I hope you will keep writing and sharing your work with the world.
Pink does smell like bubble gum, doesn't it :^) Thanks for these poems, guys!!
