Color Poems; Black

March 10, 1980

Black is darkness, black is cold; Sometimes black is very bold. Black can be a scary mystery, Or black can be how you feel in History. Black can be a scrawny cat, Or black can be a tall top hot. Black is the feeling of hate, Sometimes black is an iron gate. Black is the color of a buffalo's hide. Black is the color of the universe wide. Permanent black is the pupil of your eye. Permanent black is the midnight sky. Black is not a color, you see, But there's many things that black can be.
