Ode to Pink

Today's poem is is the creative and vibrant "Ode to Pink" by Elizabeth.  Enjoy!

Pink,
You have
Always
Been there for me.
You have
Brought
Joy
To my life when
I needed it most.

Pink, you are as young
As a flower in bloom.
When I was that
Little flower
You were my favorite.
You made me the hibiscus
Blowing in the breeze on along the
Shore.
I became the lady slippers
Twirling on the floor.
I was the tulip
Dancing
In the sunlight
Swaying back and forth.
And i was the dahlia
Soaking up all of the warmth.

When I wore you every day
I became
Something else.
I needed
You
To keep the smile on my face.

You are the butterflies
Fluttering
In the wind.
The flamingo
Balancing
On its
Leg.
You are the cotton candy
Swirled onto a stick.

You make
Blue feel
Sad.
Blue does not
Have your
Energy.
Blue jumpsuits
Slide along the track.
You race in front of them.

When you walk into a room,
You make an appearance.
Blue doesn't have that zap
To it like you.
Blue doesn't shout and scream
Like you.
Blue doesn't have the sweet scent of
Perfume like
You.
You taste exciting and hyper.
Blue is more mellow.
You can get a person's attention
Before you speak.
You feel sharp when you're vibrant yet
Soft when you're light.
Blue feels dull.
You make everyone
Want to
Get up
And move around.

I would paint the skies
Pink.
I want to see
Seas of pink.
I want grass to be painted pink.
I would paint the sun,
The moon,
The earth,
The stars,
and Pluto pink.
Rhinos and hippos too.
And finally,
I would paint
Blue
Pink.
