Maples are turning.
I see red, yellow, orange.
It’s too soon! Too soon!

Freedom’s Loss
One wearing handcuffs
Behind glass dressed in orange
Freedom lost to anger

A Morning Treasure
Upon taking a morning walk in May,
a bright splash of color enters my day.
It’s Marigolds growing in a patch,
their colors so vivid, nothing can match
the splendor the sunshine brings to each bloom.
I pause so my eyes can consume
the the sea of colors, orange, yellow, scarlet and gold!
What a morning treasure–a sight to behold!

NaPoWriMo 2013, #28–Color Choice
Red is favored many a time ,
But how can I choose it over lime?
And orange, I really like a lot,
But purple’s great too, is it not?
Yellow is so bright and cheery,
Pink delights when I’m feeling dreary,
Blue calms me with it’s gentle hue,
Yet a light shade of green does that too!
The glitter of gold I love to see,
But the shine of silver is also special to me.
Black has it’s place, as does brown,
How can I possibly choose a color to crown?
Picking a favorite is to hard for me,
For I like them all, as you can see.
Therefore, the choice I’ll leave undone,
For there’s just too many colors to focus on one.
