Prompt #16 Aquamarine

April 16 For today's prompt, I want you to pick a color, make that the title of your poem, and write a poem that is inspired by that color.


Aquamarine

On the plane before touchdown
out the window on the right
if the sun is still high
the color of my mothers eye’s flattens
and elongates to the horizon
while I in my comma shape
white sand and blank page
border her like a question.
Are we really the same?
Or is my hazel more my father
than my mother?
