A Poem A Day
Purple is a velvet veil across a snowy flowerbed
Purple is fuzzy and silky
Purple is zingy hot tea sizzling in your mouth
Purple smells like a combination of fresh berries and peach skin
Purple is a fantasy book
Purple is warm chocolate milk
Purple is a playful puppy
Purple is smooth jazz
Purple is happiness

Alexa,
Purple is my absolute favorite color and I was delighted by the way you captured all the wonder and joy of it. Your image choices are fantastic. I think purple is all of these things and that you are a great poet!
