Colors

by Harshita Das aged 12

My world is bright
With different colors

Black
As sleek as a tuxedo
As shiny as polished shoes
Different shades of black in hair
Translucent as sunglasses

Orange
Sometimes, as soft as the sunset
With soft hues spreading in the sky
Sometimes, as bright as an orange
The color of tangerines
Covering the surface

Green
Light as the blades of grass
Rustling in the wind
Dark as the heads of trees
Which is covered in olive leaves
Sometimes a pleasing shade of lime
Bright as a guava

Pink
A pretty girly pink
Found in ribbons and bows
And in the living flamingoes
And a lovely shade of magenta
Found in primroses

Red
As dark as the blood in our veins
And the crimson red
Reflected in the fragile glass of rubies
And the light hue of blush
Found mixed with the skin
Of cheeks

Yellow
Spread out in the meadows
In the form of buttercups
Sometimes golden as the rays of the Sun
Or blonde like hair
And sometimes bright as lemons

Blue
As blue as the dome above us
Or the blanket that is our sky
Baby blue in the morning
And dark with a hint of indigo at midnight

White
As pure as the coats of doctors
Like the middle of the flag
Plain, but as elegant as a dove
And sometimes,
Blinding
