Mrs. Hay

I remember Mrs. Hay
had gray hair
and I was in fourth grade
and she told me that
purple does not go
with yellow for spring flowers
and she gave me a C.

I have loved pansies ever since.


















Print and color your own. Go ahead. You should. Any color you like.

  2. Good for you! Teachers don't know everything! (BTW I'm a high school English teacher!)

    And I love pansy faces no matter what color they are!

    Great little poem!

    thankfully, we weren't marked on our colour co-ordination when i was little, so i was free to draw my flowers bright blue and red :D

Feel free to critique the poetry. I employ a sophisticated thick hide technology.
