Bali & Purple

We have been working on poetry this week and it has been awhile since I have really sat down an written a poem or two or three. Most of the time I like to start out by handwriting the poems. These are the two I like best so far.  I have done Diamante poems before but since I went to Bali last weekend this one is on Bali.

Bali

hot, sunny

walking, sightseeing, eating

waves crashing at night

shopping, relaxing, talking

peaceful, sandy

Bali

The next one is a color poem about my favorite color. I have written lots of types of poetry before but never a color poem. This is my first attempt at a poem about my favorite color, purple. I had a hard time with this poem. I am not sure if I have written about all the things that Purple is, but this is a good start. 

Purple

Purple is the color of royalty

Purple is sadness when a friendship ends

Purple is a long awaited hug by a loved one

Purple is a piece of fresh baked chocolate cake on the tongue

Purple is the sound of crashing waves on the beach late at night

Purple is the scent of a rose as one falls asleep

Purple is being curled up in a comfy blanket on a cold day

Purple is the purr of a cat curled up on a lap

Purple is the velvety feeling of my favorite dress

Purple is chocolate chip cookies hot out of the oven

Purple is hands on my skin during a massage

Purple is the content feeling after waking from a nap

Purple is the right song playing to go with my mood

Purple is when I am feeling confident and beautiful

Purple is a walk at night in the mountains under a canopy of stars

Purple is dark chocolate melting in the mouth
