Here is a fun challenge to do.  Another type of poem I did in creative Writing.  Get a big box of colors and choose one.  From that color write a poem about that color as if it were a person. Give it Life and describe your personified color. Here is my Color Poem:


Rainforest

Rainforest, a typical high schooler
Rainforest, a well rounded individual.
Smart, Involved, Volunteers.

Aguamarine, Brown, Verde, Azule,
colors that define nature.
Rainforest,
Mr. Earth
picking up trash and recycling.

Azule and Aguamarine
the oceans that Rainforest loves.

Verde and Brown; the earth
vital to Rainforest’s personality.

Rainforest, typical high schooler,
does not drink or do drugs.
Doesn’t disrespect elders nor pollute.
Rainforest,
Not High and Mighty
Not Bossy nor Bitchy.

Aguamarine, Brown, Verde, Azule;
colors that define nature.
Looking up,
at the sun,
Shining down
rays of yellow.
Sky changes from blue to polychromatic.

Rainforest, a typical high schooler;
like nature
many colors define him.


Try this out, it is really fun to do.

Waiting for your posts!

Isis, it is a very simple poem, free verse!

Try it out and see how you do

The night sky
without moon or stars
dark and dismal
invisible bars
dreary and dull
nothing inside
an empty hull
sullen and somber
the absence of light
how i feel when
there's no stars at night ...
Black
