GO-GO-GO!

I’m the colors of a traffic light.
Green, Yellow, and Red describe me, are me.
I am GO,GO,GO-green.
I am loud, sunny, and obnoxious
Like a bright lemon.
I am halted by red after being forced
To slow down by my mother.


Green gives me drive
Green pursues my determination
Green rushes me, but I like it.
I am like a green–growing
Cucumber, fresh and alive.
And garland-green Christmas lights
That dangles from festive houses.
I am the finishing touch to any holiday.
Shiny, electrostatic emerald
Emerges within me.


I highlight the world with my
Bright Pac Man smile.
Yellow yells out loud!
Yellow sticks out above all colors!
It’s dandelions, sunflowers, and Daffodils!
I am the spicy mustard
To the ideal ham sandwich.


I am the smeared red lipstick
That lingers on a mans cheek.
Passion, envy, lust, love stream
In my heart, in my veins.
Red invisible devil ears
Rest upon my head only emerging
When I disobey my mother.
I am fluorescent red, reflected
Off my poor decisions.


I’m the colors of a traffic light.
I am GO-GO-GO-green
Speeding though the traffic.
I am highlighter yellow
Never wanting to slow down
But always wanting to shoot the gap!
I am thirsty blood-sucking red
Annihilating anyone or
Anything that halts
In the middle of an intersection.
