Can a Flower Love a Color?

Annie Hintsala on Apr 11, 2009

A poem inspired by my friends Will and Kama.

Can a Flower Love a Color

If a color came down from the blue, blue sky

Would the white daisy look up and wink a daisy eye?

If the color purple went zooming through,

Would the red, red Rose want to play too?

If a periwinkle bluebell thought he’d have some fun,

Would playful laughter come from the yellow sun?

If the orange and brown marigolds wanted in on the scene,

Would they be closely followed by the color green?

A flower can love a color in the end,

Even when joy is all they have to spend.

they say there is life in every thing,
flowers speak truth silently,
and u convey ur wishes solemnly

This is such a pretty poem. I envision you singing the words to your class of children on a hilltop. Sister Annie sings “The Color of Flowers” in “The Sound of Music” )
I’m up entirely too late.

I can see this as the basis for a picture book.

Hey Ann, I am glad my dream could inspire such a pretty poem. I have recently tried to draw a picture of it for Wil but I can’t ever seem to get it right. =)
