Feelings on Earth
On sparkle pink days,
– Estrella, age 9, Miclo, age 8, & Stephanie, age 6
I feel happy like a flamingo
flapping its wings.
On glittery blue days,
I feel glittery happy
like a lake in Lufkin.
On brown days,
I feel glad like a tree
waving its leaves.
On teal days,
I feel proud to be a peacock
attracting a mate.
On black days,
I feel sleepy and sometimes
hear my brother snore.
On violet pink days,
I feel excited
because it’s the end of the day.
All colors
make the earth beautiful
and that makes us feel humble.
