...my blog would not be complete without it. I wrote this poem in third grade for the Reflections contest at my elementary school. Like most of my better works, I completed it the night before it was due. It ended up winning 1st prize in the writing category for grades 3 through 6.
MAGIC COLORS
Imagine if the moon was red,
And said "goodnight" when you went to bed.
Imagine if the stars were green,
And didn't shine when you were mean.
Imagine if the sun was brown,
And never smiled, it just frowned.
Imagine if the clouds were gold,
And when it snowed, it wasn't cold.
Imagine if the snow was black,
And when it hit the ground it cracked.
Imagine if the earth was blue,
And every day it sang to you.

Posting poems from 17 years ago at 3AM... looks like somebody couldn't sleep :-P Good stuff though. You could have worked in the greeting card industry.
Or better yet, the fortune cookie industry! "You just ate fried Asian food followed by a mass produced flavored piece of overcooked Styrofoam, you lead an unhealthy lifestyle. You're lucky number is 96, you can't seem to get anything right."
