Waking early
Rain washed gray clouds
Create a windy blue light
to the day
Drinking coffee
Drizzle falls teasing the tulips
up from the ground
Writing Poetry
As storm clouds gather and
Rain brings spring to the world

I love these colors, but when it comes to describing a day, it is kind of gloomy! This could describe our weather here today, too. I love the line "drizzle falls teasing the tulips." Our magnolia is about to burst with blooms and snow is forecasted. I hope they are wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhat a really cool idea. It provides vocabulary that a student may not think of otherwise. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis idea does get one to thinking. Our day it much like yours - drizzle and gloomy.
ReplyDeleteThe rain just started falling here. Not a great start to spring, but your poem is beautiful. The last line is full of peace and hope.
ReplyDelete"Teasing tulips up from the ground" is a lovely image. I saw mine peaking their green tops through the ground this morning.
ReplyDeleteThose descriptive words are usually present in March. Love the way you incorporated them into the poem. Now I want to go to Lowes and look through the paint chip area.
ReplyDeleteI love this. I will forever look at the mood of the day...literally and figuratively, as a paint chip. Mark
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of paint chip poetry before, and I love this idea! Paint names are always so creative anyway, and it is such a great challenge to incorporate all the colors/color words into a poem. I see some browsing in the paint chip aisle in my future!
