Another Poem: If Spring Were a Color

I recently wrote a post about the color of spring.

As I looked for my jigsaw poem, I found the following, one of several poems I wrote in April 2013:

If spring were a color

it would be green

of tree buds and grass shoots

and in the Crayola canon it is

If spring were a color

it would be yellow      

of sunshine, daffodils and forsythia

If spring were a color

it would be blue

of robins’ eggs and sky

If spring were a color

it would be purple

of crocuses and lilacs

If spring were a color

it would be white

of pear blossoms that fall like confetti

If spring were a color

it would be pink

of cherry blossom trees along the national mall

If spring were a color

it would be a rainbow

of warmth, hope, and renewal.
