No Absence of Color, A Sonnet
Blue is the sky on a clear summer day
Blue is the ocean with ships scattered about
Blue is what I am when you are away
Blue is a color we can’t live without
Red is a rose; its petals are quite bright
Red is my heart with its love all aglow
Red is the sunset that’s just before night
Red is a color the world needs to show
Yellow is the brilliant and blinding sun
Yellow is the bliss when I am with you
Yellow is a bee with work to be done
Yellow are lines along the avenue
Colors are everywhere, dear; you must see
Without any color, dull we would be
