Poetry Month: Day Ten (by Mariann)

I chose the poem 'What Is Pink?' because I love the way the author goes into such great detail when describing the color.  I also chose this poem because the color pink reminds me of Mothers and with the date so close to Mother's Day, I thought it fit.

Title:  What Is Pink?
Pink is the color of a rose.
They come in other colors
But everyone knows
Pink is the mother-color of a rose.
Pink is a new baby,
The inside of a shell.
Pink is a cooked shrimp
And a canterbury bell.
Pink is peachbloom
Gauzy  .   .   .  frail
The wind's exquisite
Wedding veil.

Pink is a bonbon,
Pink is a blush,
Some Easter bunnies
Are pink plush.
If you stand in an orchard
In the middle of Spring
And you don't make a sound
You can hear pink sing.
A darling, whispery
Song of a thing.

Pink is beautiful
Little sister of red
My teacher said,
And a ribbon girls tie
Round their head.
Pink is a sash
With the lovely fold
You'll remember
When your old.
Pink is the flower
On a lady's hat
That nods and bows
This way and that.
