Black is as dark as the inside of a Beluga whale.
Black is as bold and tough as a panther ripping apart its prey.
Black is as mysterious as a shadow knocking on your door at midnight.
Black can fly as high as a rocket ship blasting into the depths of outer space.
Black is as loud as eternal silence.
Black is as hard as a massive piece of limestone being pounded by a huge hammer.
Black is as cold as a ghost lurking around you.
Black cannot be broken.

This was written by a 5th grader? Fantastic! I esp. love this line: “Black is as mysterious as a shadow knocking on your door at midnight.” Sent a wonderful chill up my spine.
PS From your blogroll I take it you’re from Houston – my native land!
Children never cease to amaze me, magnificent write for a 5th grader and the last line wraps the poem up very nicely.
Very colourful, in its momotone
Black is as loud as silence – what a remarkable concept, I like that!

I had not imagined that black has so much beauty! I consider this a great piece!
