A World of Colors
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Red is the color of an apple
Of tomatoes ripening on the vine,
Of sweet Bing cherries, and fresh strawberries
Of hearts on a valentine.

Orange is the color of a carrot
Of pumpkins and oranges and squash,
A light flashing orange is a warning
To be on alert and to watch!

Yellow is the color of a lemon,
Of bananas, the moon and the sun,
Yellow is the bright and happy color
That is loved by everyone.

Green is the color of a pine tree,
Of emeralds, and ivy and grass,
Green means go at the stoplight
But red means stop! Don't pass!

Blue is the color of the ocean,
Of the sky on a cloudless day,
Blue is the calm and peaceful color
Of a lake on a summer's day.

Purple is the rich and royal color
Worn by blue-blooded kings,
It's the color of grapes, and juicy plums too
And lilacs that grow in the spring.

We live in a world full of rainbows
With so many colors to see,
They make our world so much brighter,
It's a beautiful place to be!

+*+*+

(Lyrics from one of my songs for children)

A rainbow colors an angel in bright hued sweep - for that angel she is a wonder and a sheer delight to read -

You sparkle Linda - and lighten my heart with your colors -

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

Linda...
you know those question emails that go out to many on a list, every once in awhile?
There is always a question that asks your favourite colour..
I always answer with 'all the colours of the rainbow'.
This is so very beautiful..if it is a song,
I would love to hear the melody.
~Rainbow hugs, Nancy~

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
an invincible summer.

It was fun looking up the pic for the poem!
I am glad that I finally took the time to figure out how to post a pic to my poems!
