The following students wanted to have their poems published on our website. This group of poems focuses on use of similies, metaphors and descriptive imagery.
Green is the color of tiny sprouts poking their heads out of the fresh brown soil
Green is a vine slowly crawling its way up a tree
Green is a lucky four leafed clover hiding in a patch of normal three leafed clovers
Green is an emerald shining bright on a necklace chain
Green smells like leaves in the rain dipping down in the weight of the water
Green tastes like fresh granny smith apples
Green sounds like a toucan cawing in the misty rainforest
Green looks like a fresh blooming hasta plant being nibbled by a bunny
Green feels like courage building up inside of you
Green makes me brave and fearless
Green is life.

Gray sounds like rain drops hitting my window.

Gray is an elephant stampede.

Brown is the Color of Dead GrassBrown is the color of dead grass
Brown is the bottom of your shoe when you step in dog poo.
Brown is a little kid's face after they've played in the mud.
Brown is the leaves on the ground in autumn.
Brown smells like fresh dirt from the bottom of a flower pot.
Brown tastes like chocolate cookies fresh from the oven.
Brown sounds like people climbing on an old tree on a rainy day.
Brown looks like the dock floating by a boat.
Brown feels rocky and hard like rocks in tbe wind.
Brown makes me feel adventurous, like putting on my tennis shoes, going out the door and running in the rain.
Brown is the color of dead grass.

FriendshipFriendship is purple
It tastes like strawberries with sugar shining on top
It sounds like contagious laughter that spreads like butter
It smells like flowers sparkling in the garden
It looks like staying up all night talking at a sleepover
It feels like always having someone on your side.

WarmthWarmth is red-yellow
It tastes like hot popcorn freshly made
It sounds like a crackling fire in a fireplace
It smells like bubbling chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven
It looks like a soft couch, a good book and a fuzzy blanket
It makes me feel cozy and safe.

What is What?White is the color of clouds
White is the fluffy pillows on the bed
White is the color of walls
White is the clean board ready to get dirty again
White smells like clean sheets
White tastes like icing on a cake
White sounds like snow drifting to the ground
White looks like paper waiting to be drawn on
White feels like a teddy bear
White makes me put on a winter coat
White is the color of clouds.

Lime green is the color of fresh green grass
Lime green is the leaves blowing off tree branches
Lime green is when I feel excited
Lime green is the color of my teddy bear waiting to be hugged
Lime green smells like blooming daisies in the garden
Lime green tastes like sour lemons and limes
Lime green sounds like kids laughing and screaming on a roller coaster ride
Lime green looks like the sun setting on the meadow
Lime green feels like walking on a sandy beach
Lime green makes me eager and enthusiastic
Lime green is the color of fresh green grass.

WinterWinter is white
It tastes like an ice cube in a cold freezer
It sounds like snow falling to the ground
It smells like fresh air right after a rainfall
It looks like a fluffy white cloud floating in the sky
It feels soft and open.

Simplicity is blue
It tastes like melting chocolate
Sweet and soft
It sounds like wind blowing in the night
Strong but calming
It smells like candles
Tranquil and soothing
It looks like morning dew
Topping the grass
It makes me feel peaceful and whole-hearted.

Pink is the color of juicy watermelon
Pink is the color of ice cold lemonade on a hot summer day
Pink is the color of my favorite blanket
Pink is the color of a newborn piglet
Pink smells like a flower in the summer
Pink tastes like frosting on a cupcake
Pink sounds like laughter by the pool
Pink looks like cotton candy at the state fair
Pink feels like my favorite pair of flip flops
Pink makes me feel like I'm floating on a cloud
Pink is the color of bubble gum.

Thunder-SensesThunderstorms are pitch black
They taste like un-sweetened chocolate
They sounds like a pounding drum
That is in rhythm with my heart
They smell like alertness
They look like a whirlwind of clouds and light
They make me feel small and powerless.
