White: Poetry Prompt - Write about a color without mentioning the actual color (only shades of it) in the body of the poem

White

Vanilla ice drips from the cone,
onto the old lace yarn,
a ivory igloo-like kitten yawns,
as a pasty human laughs.

A ghost screams "Boo!"
As the season starts to merge with snow
White smoke rushes from the chimney,
as a long bearded santa,
gives beige frosted cookies.

Magnolia flowers blossom,
as the Jasmine,
Lily of the valley,
and ivory rose does too!

Seashells lay on the beach as it's summer again,
the fine cream sand squishes between my feet,
watching the puffy pearl clouds float by.
I hold the eggshell book in my hand,
and a bright angel of hope crosses my mind.
