Ladybug Green

by Duncan Jones

The dangerous orange of the tiger

The jet black eyes of a seal

Silhouettes who run when gone is the sun

And the eerie way that they feel

The hints of purple in lightning

The gold of the jungle’s king

The silvery light of a winter’s night

How it’s almost trying to sing ...

Just a glance of the fire's dance

And then I love red for a while

The blues and the grays of the crashing waves

Will always make me smile

The flamingo is colored of confidence

The gazelle is the color of speed

The parrot ... He flew through a rainbow

And has everything now that he needs

And then the colors of stories ...

Turquoise of a dragon’s scales

The infinite yellow of desert wildflowers

The dark blue shadows of whales

The black and the white of the stars in the sky

A scene from a zebra’s dream

But my favorite by far that I’ve ever seen

Will always be ladybug green!
