PINK IS...OR USED TO BE...

It's 'Roy G Biv' time again and this months color is PINK.

Many years ago I wrote a poem about pink and how I hated it because it was considered a weak color...a 'girl' color.
-----------------------------
PINK

frothy pink party dresses enveloped in ruffles and lace
pink is frilly

pastel pink petticoats peeking from beneath clouds
pink is flirty

sweet pink cotton candy dripping sticky down the chin
pink is fleeting

petal pink cherry blossoms dancing in the breeze
pink is fluttery

pale pink rose buds blushing in the sun
pink is fragile

pink is soft
pink is silly

boys don't wear pink
only girls wear pink

i don't want to be pink
------------------------------------
The years have changed my view.

now... AT THE END OF THE DAY...



I know pink is power...princess power...girl power.
