I am a Marker

I am a marker I flutter with colors
like red, the color of a very red rose
and orange, one color of the very hot sun
or maybe yellow, if you prefer the color
of bright night, like the middle of a flower
now how about green? It's the color
of a very green bean. What about blue,
the color of a the ocean blue, now purple,
the wonderful color of a sweater, now gray
is the color of a wolf when it cries, and black
is the color of the good night sky. Violet's
the color you see when you are happy or sad,
it lightens the day. Pink is the color of a dog
coming around the block, light blue is the
color of a dolphin gliding through the ocean.
Light green is the color of dying or maybe
lying grass. So many things to be when
you're a marker.
