poem by Christina G. Rossetti

translated and recreated by Ruth Salles

5th year student at Colégio Waldorf Micael drawing

What is pink? The Rose,
so beautiful and so fragrant.
What is red? the poppy,
with sequin glitter!
What is blue? And the sky,
who uses the cloud as a veil.

It's white? The proud swan,
that goes in the water slowly.
What is yellow? the pear,
with your wax skin.
What is green? It's the grass,
that waves around me.
And violet? the cloudy sky,
by the painted sunset.
and what is orange?
Orange?
It can only be orange!
