Poem

2025

My palette is colorful.

Let me explain why it is also soulful!

My skin is like caramel from head to toe.

Everyone sees me and they already know!


To the people I love,

my happy memories are like jade green and deep sky blue.

Those are the colors that remind me of you.


The person I love the most is GOD,

and I picked red

for the blood He bled.


Pink orchid is the color that describes me,

because just like a flower

I bloom and am free.


I love to play sports.

Football is the color of black bean,

because it's bright in my eyes and always seen!


My friends remind me of the color vermillion and shine very bright.

They always help me when I lose sight.


My saddest memories are gray-blue.

Getting backstabbed is the worst thing a “friend” could ever do.


Ah, Summer is the best time of year,

because all of the colors which make me truly happy are near.


Turquoise is the color of me splashing in the pool

while my Dad is working on his car with his favorite tool.


Yellow is warm and reminds me of the Sun.

I spend all of my Summer days having fun.


Summer is filled with the best days.

The light blue cool breeze hits me in different ways.


Fresh, ice cold, yellow lemonade,

fills my brain with pain.

The flash of that black and white volleyball….

hold up…don’t strain

because my skills are insane!


My palate is colorful,

and filled with the pages of my life.

Happy

Sad

Wonderful


Every day brings new experiences.

Each opportunity opens new doors,

I add more colors

as my spirit continues to soar!
