A friend, as a child, was asked by another child who was blind, “What does pink look like?” How would YOU have answered it she asks today… this is the inspiration for my poem.

A bite of buttered gnocchi,


The squish of marshmallow,


A soft popping of bubblegum

,
A heartfelt, smiled “Hello!”

Fragrant garden roses,


A stress-free springtime day,


A breath, a hint of whispering


Of breeze upon the bay.

A blushing childhood cheek,


Sunrise on the brink.


Pet a piggie’s belly


To get to know your pink!
