If I were a pencil
If I were a pencil
I wouldn’t write I grey
Because grey is sad
And lonely
And dull

Instead I would write in rainbow colors
The colors of
Roses in spring
Oranges to eat
Sunbeams shining on daffodils
Fresh cut grass in the prairie
Bright blue skies

Waves of the indigo ocean
And
Purple grapes from a vine

No I would not use gray to write if I were a pencil
Rainbow colors are much more exiting!!!

Seeing the Black Around

everyone watches the moon
seeing if it’s crescent or round
I see the night differently
I see the black around

much more silent than anything else
it truly is a space
we really should appreciate
and to always trace
