The poem that I picked is entitled 'My Color Game' by Vivian Gould. This is a rhyming poem that I read in a first-grade reader. This poem inspires me for this is the way that I try to lead my life. This is an inspirational poem that lets a person think about how they see the world whether in color or black and white. This poem gives me a new way to look at things that I see every day.

The poem uses the actual colors in the poem as descriptors, for example, PURPLE eggplant and blue-jay BLUE. Emotions that this poem brings to me is one of happiness and sadness. Happiness for this reminds me of the good times that I had as a child. Grief for my dad saw things in color and tried to look on the bright side of things most
