These poems were written by my students (and me) and dedicated to a very special person in their lives:
Mrs. RaudeDedicated to: Amanda and Brandon (my children)
I love you the reddest...
I love you the color of a crimson Valentines Day heart,
created with loving hands.
I love you the color of a bright brick red fire truck,
rushing out of the fire station, echoing
its loud distinctive screaming sound announcing to everyone its arrival.
The flame of a crackling red fire
The silky feel of a scarlet rose petal
The sweet tantalizing taste of a juicy cherry.

I love you the greenest...
I love you the color of a leaf before fall blows it away.
I love you the color of a dazzling emerald, strong and proud of its appearance, waiting to be given away.
The smell of a chartreuse grass after a long cold rain.
The feel of a hard pear before it has been eaten.
The sight of a mistletoe on Christmas Eve.

I love you the bluest...
I love you the color of the bright baby blue sky with its beautiful clouds and birds.
I love you the color of the crystal blue ocean with its fish of all sizes and colors.
The outstanding color of indigo paint shinning in its bucket.
The aquamarine water in "Sea World" with its fantastic dolphins and seals.
The sweet tantalizing taste of a blueberry.

I love you the purplest...
I love you the color of a violet rose waiting to be picked out of the ground.
I love you the color of a fuchsia grape, making your taste buds go crazy, waiting for more.

The taste of grape juice flowing through your stomach.
The color of a plum garden filled with your favorite flowers.

In main spotlight in my heart.

I love you the color of a crimson dragon, soaring through the air protecting those from harm.
I love you the color of the warming scarlet sunset, lowering across the horizon, glimmering as we wonder when it will rise again.

The gooey feeling of bloody red paint.
