If Green Is Your Favorite Color

This leaf reminds me of you.
I hold it close on bleak days. Also,
I notice the neighbor’s garden hose.

If Blue Is Your Favorite Color

How the sky reminds me of you!
You and your blue eyes, if
you have blue eyes.

If Red Is Your Favorite Color

Stop telling me that you love me.
It’s so obvious, even the fire truck
knows, continues on its way.

If Yellow Is Your Favorite Color

This leaf reminds me of you.
I found it dead on the rug.
I slipped on it, almost fell.

If Gray Is Your Favorite Color

I snuggle into a cloud, soft
as a kitten. Both of us wonder
what’s wrong with you.
