Read together
In a world of colors, so bright and true,
There are shades that you should know too.
Green like the grass, and leaves of a tree,
It's the color of life, it's what you'll see.
Dark like the night, and shadows in the park,
It's a color that can be scary, or just stark.
Black like the darkness, that creeps in your room,
It's a color that can be sad, or full of gloom.
White like a cloud, that floats in the sky,
It's a color that can be pure, and hard to deny.
Grey like the storm clouds, that darken the day,
It's a color that can be dull, or just fade away.
Blue like the ocean, so deep and so vast,
It's a color that can be calm, or a raging blast.
Brown like the earth, beneath your feet,
It's a color that can be strong, or just too neat.
Orange like the sun, that rises in the morn,
It's a color that can be bright, or just be worn.
Light like a candle, that flickers in the night,
It's a color that can be warm, or a guiding light.
Red like a rose, that blooms in the spring,
It's a color that can be bold, or just a fling.
Pink like a princess, in a fairy tale book,
It's a color that can be sweet, or just for looks.
So, young ones, take note of these hues,
And discover the beauty, in each color's muse.
