Color Poem by mark glaser

What color do you want me to be?
I can be blue, yellow, or green, or any hue,
For you.

What color do you want me to be?
I’m trying to be a color for you.

So what’s your hue?
Tell me how to be the color you need,
And I’ll be that color for you.

I’m confused over which color to turn,
I can’t tell the color you yearn.
So tell me the color to heed,
And I’ll be that color you need.

Please, let me know,
Give me a signal to sow.

I want to be that special color for you,
Display that plumage,
And let me blend with you,
And I’ll become that hue.
