Rainbow poems

Red
Red smells like a cherry pie baking
tastes like sweet cranberry juice
sounds like a hunting horn sounding a blow
looks like a velvet carpet laid out at a theater
feels like a silk cushion against my cheek









Orange
Orange smells like fresh orange juice
sounds like a guitar strumming away
looks like a fruitful forest
tastes like a lollipop melting on my tongue
feels like a feather gently stroking my palm









Yellow
Yellow smells like fresh fruit
sounds like a robin twittering its song
looks like a beam of sunlight
tastes like a sour lemon
feels like an apple skin swaying across my arm









Green
Green smells like freshly mowed grass
sounds like the wind rustling the trees
looks like a forest with swaying leaves
tastes like a juicy olive
feels like a soft breeze









Blue
Blue smells like the ocean
sounds like a clear note on a silver trumpet
looks like a ray of moonlight shining on a lake
tastes like a blueberry muffin
feels like a warm wave washing over me









Purple
Purple smells like perfume
sounds like a violin playing a sad song
looks like a lilac bush in winter
tastes like a grapefruit soft and juicy
feels like I'm traveling through space

  3. When I got stuck I cycled through the colors and each had it's own smell. They gave me ideas.
