Red

By Isabella

First color of the rainbow is red, red, red

Hearts that show the love between us

Cardinals around every time – including winter

Cherries, delicious little polka dots

Roses that are wonderfully red

The swishing of red dresses means you’re happy
because you’re dancing

Apples like crunchy little hearts with stems
that make your tongue in love

Makeup to make everything beautiful

Strawberries with their many little pockets filled

Lips that give us the wonder of speaking

Violets are not in this poem – or are they?

Purple

PURPLE IS…

by Isabella

Purple like the clouds during sunset,
so beautiful and wild!

Purple like the violin music,
so imaginative.

Purple like the soft velvet feeling
in my mind.

Purple like the violet
in the meadow, so wide.

Purple like a grape that tastes like a wonder
under the bright, bright sun.

Purple like the turnip
in the small, small farm for our supper.

Purple like the—POP
—in surprise, so dazed.

Pop crackle Pop ! Purple like the fireworks
in the evening, so bedazzled!

A Belated Happy Halloween

It has been a far, far too busy autumn -- and we've missed posting about birthdays, anniversaries, trips to Staten Island and to Ellis Island, and more. But Hermione Granger and Optimus Prime hope you'll see more of Isabella's and Jonathan's adventures soon . . .
