A Fun Poem for Poetry Month

April is designated "Poetry Month" and before it gets away on me I wanted to post a fun poem. Hope you like it.

Happy rhyming!

Colleen, the Color Queen 

By Gayle C. Krause

Colleen, the Color Queen

I come from a big family

with brothers wide and tall.

And I’m the youngest child.

I’m smaller than them all.

Each brother has a talent

in music, math, or sport.

But when it comes to clothes

they wear the ordinary sort.

I want to be different

so everyone can see

that I’m not like my brothers.

I’m the one and only me.

When I go to school each day

I look like a crayon box,

with lots of crazy colors

from my hat down to my socks.

Purple hair.

Orange shoes.

Any color dress I choose.

Teal blue socks.

Fuchsia bow.

Crazy colors head to toe.

Yellow boa.

Violet vest.

Red bead necklace

down my chest.

Bright blue purse.

Green striped tights.

Mixed up clothes

are my delights.

High top sneaks

with big black dots.

Shoelaces

with turquoise spots.

My brothers laugh

when I get dressed.

But I know that

my clothes are best.

A painter’s palette

when I’m seen.

I’m Colleen

the Color Queen.
