Color

Haikus

ginger peach is warm
the color of a sunset
smooth, fuzzy, and bright

honey nut maple
crunchy like the golden leaves
burned like a candle

autumn harvest moon
pumpkins and thanksgiving time
color of a squash pie

My thoughts on color...

Colors are more than just what you literally see with your two eyes. There can be deep stories behind a color, your own personal significance to it, and when you look back at the color it takes you back. I personally love all the colors in nature. Purple flowers, green grass and trees, blue skies, orange sunsets, white clouds, and turquoise waters. Color is all around us, you just have to stop and look sometimes. Take in the beauty of color that God created. For me, light blue is a significant color to me. It reminds me of my room at the house I grew up in. It was the color I chose after getting tired of my "pink princess" room. It marked a transition in my childhood of growing up, I was no longer playing with dolls or playing dress-up, I was doing homework and playing sports. Thus, I chose a light blue that was peaceful, calming, and grown up.

Object Inspired writing


My pearl ring is one of my most prized possessions. I wear this ring every single day, I’m kind of too scared to take it off. It has a special meaning to me since I was given it by my grandmother. Once she passes away, it will hold even more of a special meaning. I remember the day that I was looking through her jewelry, like I often did, and came across this ring. I really like pearls and so I asked her if I could wear it. She ended up telling me to just keep it. The top of the pearl has lost some of its luster, but it’s still beautiful! I get compliments almost everyday on the ring and it makes me really happy. The pearl is surrounded by 3 diamonds on either side and it all rests on the gold ring. I would really like to restore the shine to the top since that would bring it back to its original state when I got it, but I don’t know how! If you have any tips, let me know! My grandma is the best woman I know. She is the matriarch of our family, always keeping us in line at family gatherings! Her full name is Bonnie Bell Bennett Price, and I plan on getting “bonniebell” tattooed on me someday to pay homage to her. She will be 87 this year, and has lived an extraordinary life. She bounces back from injuries quicker than myself! Every time I look at the ring, I am reminded of her beauty, grace, and bravery.
