Rainbow

Red is hot and spicy, like standing too close to the fire,

Orange is warm and smooth, the heat from the sun you most desire;

Yellow is buttery and rich, like sunshine on your face,

Blue is cool and crisp, like dipping your foot in October lakes;

White is light and hopeful, like an angel beginning to soar,

Brown is healing and ancient, the smell of earth on the forest floor;

Black is dark and beautiful, like camping under the stars,

Purple is dark and rich, a baritone sax bellowing that jazz song of ours;

Green is earthy and comforting, the smell of nature’s grass and trees,

And pink is pretty and cheerful, like rose petals or a gentle breeze.
