"It is our choices, Harry, that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities," (J.K. Rowling).


Life isn't fun without a splash of color:
A frayed black and white photograph that can change with a drop of paint,
Plain vanilla ice cream, adorned with rainbow sprinkles,
A plain, blue ocean with a white foamy wave.

They say time flies when you're having fun,
So what is time, and what is fun?
A long, black road with the sun on the horizon?
A roller coaster ride with a hair-raising loop de loop?

Life without fun is an empty glass,
Waiting to be dried and put away.
So add some milk to that empty glass,
And enjoy life's sweet flavor.

Because we look forward to that splash of color;
It is the gasoline for our soul.
Life is enjoyable if you make it so;
Just add a spark of fun.

I like how this poem makes a splash of color into so much more than just a splash of color. I also like your metaphors.
