White

Here is what I wrote for our color poem: pick a color, associate all five senses with it. This is what I came up with.

White
A blinding light
Piercing my eyes with intensity
Only when it is dimmed can we see
A blank paper
A more appealing sight
Boring now, but perhaps more appealing
When later tainted with the shades of color
That lay upon the imagined canvas of our mind
Winter
The numbing chill of its snow
The threatening slickness of its ice
While the tantalizing embrace of a soft pillow
Waits inside
Popcorn popping
An audible delight
Though the heavenly ballads from clouds above
With their angelic chorusing and strummed harps
Are far more dulcet tunes
An array of flavors
Tickling the tongue almost incomprehensibly
The bitterness of salt
The sweetness of sugar
Soap, sour and revolting
Mint, cool and refreshing
Plainness in the form of milk
And the lusciousness hidden in marshmallow
A new plethora of complexity enters the nostrils
The rancid stench of an onion pushes us away
While the pungent mozzarella draws us near
Acrid mist and smoke signal danger
When suddenly, again
A blinding light
