Green...
like a frog,
a Christmas tree,
the wind blowing through grass, leaves.
It sounds like the tapping of lizard toenails,
a leprechaun's voice,
a sweet granny falling,
a grasshopper.
It feels soft as snow,
hard as a turtle's shell,
slimy as seaweed.
If it could green would shake,
it would be a shamrock,
build a bird's nest,
help our environment.
Green!

Green like
grass,
like an oak tree's leaves,
like bushes in the backyard,
like the sun when it's sick.
It sounds like the whistle of birds
and trains and teakettles.
It sounds like hummingbirds
and monsters.
If we could smell green
it would like Spring's perfume,
like fresh mown grass,
like frogs and mint.
It feel soft like swan feathers,
scaly like a fish,
smooth like kitten fur
or a crocodile's tooth,
puffy like a quilt,
like snow and fake grass.
If it could
green would go into outer space,
it would be the president,
it would take over the world.

Green..
like grass blowing,
like a palm tree,
a green-stemmed flower,
a prickly cactus,
the sea.
It would sound like
the ocean banging into a wall,
like a croaking frog,
a crackling leaf.
Green smells like pine needles,
a tree newborn,
like maple syrup on my pancakes.
It feels soft like a pillow,
pounding like the ocean,
smooth as a tablecloth.
If green could it would make people laugh,
it would play Tony Hawk,
it would make the Mardi Gras flag.
Green would write a poem!

If I
Could
I would be
a playful puppy,
a shark
swimming madly
through the
water,
the sound
of a buffalo stampede,
a raptor
roaring,
eating
another dinosaur,
a monkey
making loud noises in the forest,
a friendly
puppy playing with her friends,
a cheetah
running as fast as I can,
a king
cobra hunting for food.
I would be
loud
like a lion
roaring.
I would be
the sound
of a
beautiful eagle soaring through the sky
looking for
something to eat,
a kitten
calling for help
up in a
tree,
the sound
of an
electric guitar,
a pencil
tip breaking.
Paint me
red
like an
erupting volcano
with 1300
degrees Fahrenheit lava,
white like
a cozy cloud
and a star
twinkling
in the
night,
green like
grass in spring.
Or paint me
the color peach
like the
sunset in the sky
at the end
of the day
by the
shore.

Blue...
like the ocean or violets,
like bluebirds and balloons
flying in the sky overhead.
Blue would taste cold like ice,
salty like the sea,
like raspberry ice cream,
like mint,
like a breeze.It sounds like waves
crashing,
like a cold gust of wind from the north,
a balloon popping,
a bluebird whistling.
And it feels very cold like snow,
soft like blankets and puppies,
wet like a whale.
If it could
blue fly like the wind,
flood the land,
then save the world.
Blue!
