a prism

red the color of a melting strawberry popsicle
orange the color of a long warm knit sweater
yellow the color of a field with long green blades that are tinted gold when the sun glances off of them
green the color of a cocunut leaf, large, in a sticky hot rainforest
blue the color of the most beautiful ocean in the world, clear, white sands
purple the color of chipped lavender nail polish
black the color of sticky ink for print making
white the color of the fur lining a santa hat
golden brown the color of a softly toasted marshmallow

rainbow the color of a shaft of light through a prism,
shone on the creaky wood floor.
