I Prefer Living in Color

(Ruth Cornell)

What is pink? a rose is pink

By a fountain's brink.

(Nicole Lavoie)

What is red? a poppy's red

In its barley bed.

(Jorge Enrique Ramirez)

What is blue? the sky is blue

Where the clouds float thro'.

(Karen Spehar)

What is white? a swan is white

Sailing in the light.

(Brenda Zyburt)

What is yellow? pears are yellow,

Rich and ripe and mellow.

(Elly Sands)

What is green? the grass is green,

With small flowers between.

(Jill Edwards)

What is violet? clouds are violet

In the summer twilight.

(Mary Ann Winiger)

What is orange? Why, an orange,

Just an orange!

(Laura Albert)
