What Is Lavender?
By Poetry Prize Winner Glenn Caldwell ‘97
Lavender is the color
Of a bluebird
Sitting on its nest.
Lavender is the color
Of the sky.
And the color of the inside
Of a blueberry pie.
Lavender can be used
In many different ways
Like a body of water
Flashing before your eyes.
Lavender is the best surprise.
