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 remembered times when I was young i used to scribble stuff on the walls with crayons.
Your poem resurfaced those memories
the choice of vocabulary and the inside rhyming adds colors to your poem
Amazing
