THE COLOR PINK
Pink is playful,
blowing bubble gum,
licking cotton candy.
Pink is a peony
perfuming the crisp air,
a rain shower of petals.
Pink is calming
like a mountain stream
making sweet music.
Pink is creative,
playing notes
inspiring the artist.
Pink is pretty,
soft as a bed
of feathers.
Pink is love,
a dozen roses
on Valentine's Day.
--Brenda Kay Ledford

I love PINK! Pale pink or hot pink! Your poem brought a smile this morning!! I love those fancy Valentine Candy Heart boxes too. Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing this.
The Valentine's remind me of when I was in elementary school. Our class would have a huge box decorated with red and pink hearts, and we would put our classmates valentines in it. On the day of the party we would eat cookies and drink chocolate milk. Assigned students would pass out the valentines from the big box. But other teachers had another method and let us decorate folders, and tape it to our desk. We put our individual valentines here.
