Claire Lee
What’s your favorite color?
Most people default to blue
Serene, refreshing, and smooth
The color of water, beaches, and the sky
Such a calm color. No wonder everyone says blue.
What’s your favorite color?
So many people answer blue
I think I’m supposed to, too
Deep inside, I don’t know
But maybe we’re all confused
What’s your favorite color?
My favorite color is blue
Just like the rest of you
My answer comes quick
It’s so nice I never have to rethink
What’s your favorite color?
“Red.” She explains no further
30 of her peers stare in confusion
Red is fierce. Red is bold.
Red creates chaos for no reason.
But red is just a color
A color just like blue
Was it right of me to be scared
Of such a beautiful rosy hue?
Maybe I’ll choose both
Purple doesn’t stray too far
Why stay so close to home at all?
There’s green and pink, magenta and teal
So what’s my favorite color?
I couldn’t tell you
