Optimism Wears a Jumpsuit the Color of the Sun

Assignment: Brainstorm what a color looks like, sounds like, feels like, tastes like, smells like, and emotionally feels like.  Take these brainstorms and write a poem about that color.

Brainstorm for Yellow

Sight: sweatsuit the color of the sun, smiling eyes
Hear: laughter coming from the sprinkler
Touch: laundry, bounce fresh, right from the dryer; an encouraging hug
Taste: pineapples (fresh, not from the can), light and calorie free
Smell: vanilla emanating from the outlet
Emotions: cheerful, nice, giddy, optimistic


Subsequent Poem:

Optimism Wears a Jumpsuit the Color of the Sun

Laughter swishing from the sprinkler
Towels bouncing fresh from the dryer
Pineapple refusing to be canned
Vanilla emanating from the outlet
Smiles dancing from her eyes
And Optimism wearing a jumpsuit the color of the sun
