The black at the base of this reminded me of a poem by Ms P's daughter B who turns 12 on Boxing Day:

'What is black?

Black is dark,
Like the midnight sky.
Black is the darkness you see
When you are angry.

Black is the colour
Of the dark stern sea.

Black is the colour,
When your mind goes blank.

Black is the witches cat,
Prowling in the night.
Black is the colour
Where your monsters hide.
Black is the colour, 
Of your shadow,
Not leaving your side.

Black is the colour,
Of a lion's eyes
Black is the opposite
Of the white
Of the wise

Can you imagine life
And in it
A lack
Of the colour black'.
