Black

Black is not one color,
But many put together.

Black is the color seen at night,
And when someone turns off their light.

Black is darkness,
Loneliness and sadness.

Black makes you wanna sigh,
And sometimes even cry.

Black is referred to as depressing,
But can often look seducing.

Black is mysterious,
And seems kinda serious.


Black is the color of a witch's pointy hat,
And her faithful companion, 
the unlucky Black Cat.

Black is the color of fright,
Seen on a dark Hallowe'en night.

Black is the color of an icy cold breath,
But scariest of all,
It is the color of death.
