With Orange Crayons
What is the colour of sunlight
Bright as the glare of a lit place
Under azure sky filled of clouds
White as sheep's wool shaved
Who is so clumsy as to
Drain all the raindrops from
Each cumulus puff leaving them
Dry as bone in a boneyard
When will the golden sun bow
To a smiling cool day like a
Newworld springtime where
Every form of green greets the eye
Yellow alert says the weather woman
Remember to hydrate
Keep your waterbottles close
And your sweat bands intact
Is hell a freezing place
Where ice cubes are sovereign currency
Where ghost and goblins tremble so hard
The rise to earthly realm
Haloween draws near
With orange crayons
Just for the fun of it
Jack o lanterns grin

I especially love your first three stanzas....the colors and the imagery are just excellent. And the title, orange crayons and then connected to Halloween make me smile :)
