Color Dance
Red begins to dance the rave
to a psychedelic beat.
Lime green starts an electric slide--
clapping and moving its feet.
Teal tangos a minute or two,
dragging its toes along.
Yellow discos the YMCA
to that "totally 80s" song!
White waltzes a while,
so graceful and smooth,
while blue trots out a classic swing,
showing off all its moves.
Orange does a crazy jive,
jumping all the while.
Black prefers a fast-paced tap--
a classic, rhythmic style.
Emerald tries an Irish jig
to a bagpipe melody.
Pink performs a beautiful ballet,
pirouetting gracefully.
Coral favors a classic shag
to a lively beach-inspired sound.
Brown likes a country square dance:
"Swing your partner round and round!"
Maroon does a creative Macarena,
clogging rhythmically.
Violet likes a little jazz
to stir up the dance scene.
...But there's one lonely color who never reaches the floor...
Gray sits all alone,
in a corner,
near the door.

I really like this... especially the line that says "teal tangos a minute or two"... very cute and creative!
Pretty awesome Haley! I really love all the imagery... I could see each color exactly as you described it. I love how it ends with gray sitting in the corner... kind of puts a whole new perspective on colors... and the poem.
i like how you related all the colors to a different dance! i also like the last line about the color gray~
this was great...when i read it i could easily see each color doin the dance you said they would..one of the best pieces ive read
