Once dormant, grey limbs
warmed by spring sunshine remind
us why we love pink.
PROMPT:
Colors welcome us to imagine and remember our world, especially in spring, when the grey of winter subsides to the many colors of new leaves and blossoms.
What color do you see? Where is it? What color was it before? How does it feel to you now?
Try writing a haiku [Ken Nesbitt’s How To Write a Haiku] or other type of poem about the color that catches your eye today.
Here’s another type of poem, and acrostic. Using the letters of the word pink as starting each line:
Plump blossoms
Illuminate once barren trees
Now alive with new leaves and each branch
Keeps bursting with new colors each day.
Go ahead– try an acrostic poem!
