Red is for the apple: so shiny and bright,
or the red of a ruby: wow, that's a cool sight

Orange is for the pumpkin: so big and so round,
or the orange of a tiger: an agile cat pound for pound

Yellow is for the hot summer sun on your back,
or the sign on the road that reads: Dead End! Turn Back!

Green is for the pine needles: so rich and so sweet,
or the green of the grass: alive beneath my feet

Blue is for the sky: so endless and vast,
or the sadness for things that happened in the past

Purple is for the kite: that whistles as it flies by,
or the purple of mountains: towering in the sky
