The King of Purple, by Vincent Gomez, age 12

We rode in his little red Corvette,
while seeing the most beautiful girl in the world.  

And as the years went by,
we heard when the doves cried,
as the purple rain poured down.  

But slowly the rain is purple no more.
Clear, regular, and normal.
However we remember those days,
when he was dynamic, outstanding,
and when his purple magic sparkled.
