Crayons

 

Crayons you take me

Somewhere new,

Where my childhood

Won't seem so blue.

 

Your colors put

Me in a trance,

When I think about

The pictures of

Romance where

They take me.

 

Maybe we'll sail where

Christopher Columbus' ships

Blew their sails to,

Where the waters were filled

With pink mermaids with bright

Red hair.

 

Or shall I color a rainbow,

Where secret gardens grow

Cherry color dinosaurs

Who walked around

A long time ago

Eating brown fudgesicles

And gingerbread cookies too.

 

I'll show your colors to my

Mom when I get home,

To see if she cares.

 

For now I'll color my rocks,

Of the cave where I sit

When I'm feeling grey

With you.

I think this was really good. I loved the imagery in the poem. I love coloring, but I can't color with crayons. I like color pencils. Thanks for sharing. :)

Wow I like it... this is like getting in touch with your inner child... I love that last verse especially... its like saying I keep a positive attitude even when things go wrong.

Ah...que preciosa... This is...wonderous... I actually felt my...inner child...as I lost myselves (yes, myselves) in the colors "crayoned" by the words; I like this picture. What it would be like to go back to a yesterday when the worries of a child were the only worries a child had to hold.
