Color Poems: A Rainbow of Poetry

May 2nd, 2007

Welcome to Ms. Cristella’s Class Blog at TUFSDblogs.org! Currently featured on our class blog is “A Rainbow of Poetry.” We read Mary O’Neill’s Hailstones and Halibut Bones, a collection of color poems, and crafted our own poetry modeled after Mary O’Neill’s poetic style.

“Orange Is”

Orange is a pumpkin
In a field at a little farm in fall.

Orange is a peach
Sweet, slimy, sticky in my mouth.

Orange is juice
Sweet and sour
On a hot summer day.

Orange is a school bus
Listen to the noisy children
Driving on the way to school!

Orange is a cheetah
RUNNING- Fast! Quickly!
Through the jungle
Under the [...]

Green is a four leaf clover
That brings GOOD LUCK!

Green is a hungry alligator
Hunting through the swamps for food.

Green is a leprechaun
Dancing on St. Patricks Day.

Green is a turtle
When it gets scared it hides in its shell.

Green is salad that crunches
Crunch, crunch, crunch
In your mouth like a leaf
When [...]

Red is the symbol of hope
That floats upon us in the air.

Red is the wildfire
That burns across the woods
Through the plants and forest.
It never stops to help…
Only destroy.

Red is the summer days
Steamy upon us
When only the pool
Can cool
With warm water.
Outside we feel the heat boiling upon us.

Green is leaves
Blowing through the air

Green is seedlings…
A baby plant that will soon
GROW
Into a flower.

Green is watermelon
That tastes so sweet
And exellent on a summer day.

Red is a juicy red jello
That is so soft is s-l-i-t-h-e-r-s
Like a snake down your throat.

Red is blood
That comes out of your body
When you get a painful shot
OW!

Red is Hawaiian punch
That looks like red Gatorade
And gives you a red, fruity mustache.

Red is a sweet, juicy [...]

Pink is the love that fills the air
When someone is in love.

Pink is lemonade
I drink on a hot day.

Pink is bubble gum that is stuck to my shoe
When I walk I hear it stick to the sidewalk.

Pink is as quiet as a sleeping lamb
Shhhhh….
It is about to [...]
