My favorite color in elementary school Until told it wasn’t a color An absence Or combination of all Still, Penny wears it like royalty 500 pounds of black beauty rooting in the dog yard catching a few rays waiting for apples to fall a Russian sow in hog heaven
It’s not black anymore but it was Before two yards of gravel Before removing stumps Before the patio Before new garden boxes Before I left it in the rain
Black
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color in elementary school
Until told it wasn’t a color
An absence
Or combination of all
Still, Penny wears it like royalty
500 pounds of black beauty
rooting in the dog yard
catching a few rays
waiting for apples to fall
a Russian sow in hog heaven

couldn't think of a poem yesterday for yellow until I realized that a bee is yellow and black, so I wrote a bee poem for both.
DeleteI could fill a book with poems about black though, since it is my favorite colour.
A fellow lover of black! Nice!
