Shades of Purple

The Color Purple

(Stacey B.)

Purple, Purple,
What a wonderful hue.
It's the product of mixing
Red and Blue.

Purple Purple,
The color I love.
It's the color of a sunset
on the horizon above.

Purple, Purple
In every shade.
It's my favorite of all
of the colors God made.

Purple, Purple
I like it a lot!
I don't even mind

if my Grape Popsicle
leaves a spot.
. . . on my shirt.

Purple Cow

(Gelett Burgess)

I never saw a purple cow.
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one.
