Color Rising in the Morn

by Sharlene Robinson

Color

Rose and stretched its bronzed arms

Rubbed its bright eyes,

And yawned white clouds over its

Sea-green bed.

It cast its rainbow shadow across

The paisley floor,

And hung a pastel nightgown

Upon the bedroom door,

It brushed its silver teeth

With a paste of translucent beams.

Then sat to drink the

Richly-painted morning

In serenity.
