In Colour

Yellow sounds like excited children giggling like jelly beans, bouncing away…

Fuschia tastes like strawberry cake on a birthday…

White smells like daisies dancing with the wind…

I am so incredibly impressed.

We’ve been learning about using “powerful words” to create imagery in our writing.  I’m amazed at how each and every one of these colour poems paint such a beautiful picture.

Here are some more vibrant snippets:

Seriously, who talks like this?!  Amazing, I tell you.
