Black (A Color Poem)

A poem I wrote for Creative Writing class about my favorite color.

Black

Surrounding the stars in space

An endless abyss

Flowers dead and wilting

The sound of darkness

The silence of death

Seizing of the sound waves

Colored licorice

Fine chocolate hidden in the drawers

The cream-filled oreos

A soft, comfy bed

A beautiful nightmare

The pressure of a fresh storm

Black can take you around the universe and back.

The teacher gave us a specific set of guidelines to follow (of course, we didn't have to follow it word for word), so it does have a sort of structure to it. I don't know where the outline for it went, but it was something like "Name the color, what is it, what does it look like, sound like, smell like, taste like, feel like, and what does the color do."
