Color Poems

The color poem begins with a metaphor that gives a feeling about the color according to the poet. The next three lines are similes that give examples or supporting details about the first line. Some poets were so inspired, they added more lines!



Brown is elaboration
like pages in an old book
like bark on trees
as brown as soil

By Aubrie


Blue is fun
like playing video games 24 hours straight
like jumping off a 40-ft cliff
as awesome as eating hot pie on a cold day

By Brendan



Blue is sadness
like a cub lost from its mother
like a seal lost at sea
like a person's heart broken after a breakup

By Bryan



Purple is royal
like lavender in bloom
like my peacock shirt
as royal as a king and queen in court

By Dina


Green is earth
like a leaf sprouting out
like a big green tree
like people cleaning and being green
as beautiful as flowers
as bright as the sun
like a green grasshopper
like a green chameleon

By Ethan


Green is fun
like the pool in my backyard
like the mint ice cream in my freezer
green are the leaves on the big oak tree

By Ivan



Yellow is sweet
like yummy honey
like the smile on the sun
like the element of balance
yellow is the sweetness of every rainy day

By Joey


Brown is chocolate
like a deer blended in the trees
like a tree's bark with a woodpecker looking for ants
like a leaf that fell off a tree which is dry
as cold as a hippo in a mud wallow

By Johnnie



Turquoise is relaxation
like ocean water in the morning
like basking in the sun at the pool
as comforting as a good book and a blanket

By Kennedy


Brown is gross
like mud on your clothes
like spilling gravy on your pants
as gross as falling in mud

Black is spooky
like the monsters under your bed
like walking in the woods at night
as spooky as the night!

By Maria

Blue is cold
like the ice
like the cold water in my glass
as cold as snow and winter

By Noah


Blue is cool
like the water
like a book
like a pencil sharpener


By Romel


Yellow is exciting!
like getting a package in the mail
like a roller coaster
like a happy day, with nothing wrong

By Sam



Pink is excitement
like kids running up and down
like children getting new clothes
like teachers getting paid
as exciting as getting my new pink shoes

By Trinity


Brown is persistence
like making mud pie
like digging a hole
as much work as knitting a sweater

By Zelda Myers
