Sky has shades of this in the early morning,
waking to a new day my usual yawning
Peeking through the curtains dawn gives a warning.
Clouds are drifting as sky looks like its on fire.
When you write of this color always inspires
As it brings out the passion, set my muse higher.
On a cold day little ones come in with their cheeks,
when their sick you never want temperature to peak
Cold or hot this is my favorite color and very unique.

Great imagery! I especially like the second stanza. I'm guessing your color is red.
Thanks for entering the contest, and good luck!
