"What is PINK? a rose is pink,
By a fountain's brink.
What is RED? a poppy's red,
In its barley bed. "
What is BLUE? the sky is blue,
Where the clouds float thro'.
What is WHITE? a swan is white,
Sailing in the light.
What is YELLOW? pears are yellow,
Rich and ripe and mellow.
What is GREEN? the grass is green,
With small flowers between.
What is VIOLET? clouds are violet,
In the summer twilight.
What is ORANGE? Why, an orange,
Just an Orange!"

Daffodils - extract
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."
William Wordsworth
[1770 - 1850]

"Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavenders green
When you are King dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen.
Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so"
17th century English folk song

Reflections
"Looking through the glass
Reflections of the past
What do I dare to see
Staring back at me.
Reflections bounce off window panes
Images of what was gained
Reflections of the past
Memories broken and lost
Reflections of the present
Haunting memories not so distant
Reflections through the tears
Through the looking glass all the fears
From the shadow and from the light
All these reflections sudddenly take flight."
Lorie Robertson
