Colored Folk

I'll strive to verse you colorless
for you to later paint by numbers

I've learned rooms painted screaming red,
play more intense than had the same
been decorated pinkish.

I strive for you to savor my foreign tongue
in a dialect compatible to your own

I try my udder best to do you English,
what still challenges me in native Russian,
a touch of French I picked in Poland, that it may tickle,
for whereas milk's color is white, night's is considerably denser.
