Hue

Blue

...is the Caribbean on a crystal clear day, from the depths of the ocean to the infinite reaches of the sky. It’s your favorite jeans and the eyes of the one you love. It’s the berries in your mother’s delicious pie, staining the corners of your lips. It’s suede shoes that dance and the mood you work hard to avoid. Blue is the world’s most beloved hue.

Yellow

...is a ripe banana peeled on a summer day by a blonde-haired girl in a sundress. It is the glint of sunlight in a freshwater stream, splashing happily over bare feet. It is the tail of a magnificent bird in flight, gaily demanding to be noticed. IT is heat that never burns and joy that never ends. Yellow is the most gregarious hue.

Green

...is and unmoved field after a rainy spring, swaying in an easy breeze. It is a promise fully realized, the luck that never leaves you, and the aura of the elf who delivers the pot of gold. It is the calm that overtakes the dusk, the scent that fills the air and the thrill of an early dawn. Like the earth that inspires it, green is the good hue.

Orange

...is an irresistible giggle that sweeps through a crowd of friends and circles back for more. It is the juice that gets squeezed from a generous sun. It is satisfaction without effort, charm without magic, and all-night dance without a piper to pay, a heart that is forever young and a spirit most indomitable. Orange is a really light-hearted hue.

Nice work. Maybe some of your creative juices will rub off on Gabrielle. She's great with stories but I wanted my girls to like poetry. So far they aren't thrilled.
