Sometimes these prompts will add a twist or catch to them. Like when writing about your favorite color or time of day, don't mention them in the poem. These twists help to make you more creative with your descriptions.
Here's my quick first draft attempt at a color poem. Try one of these favorites out for yourself!
sky blue
the sunlight
changes you
makes you brighter,
richer
and whatever clouds
survive the sun
play contrast
against your hue
there are imitators
but they never live up to
the warmth of sunshine
and days playing outside
of swimming in lakes
and laying on beaches
of hiking through the woods
with pieces of you peeking through branches
you are the top of the world
you are the half
that represents the heavens
and our dreams
everything that floats
or flies or stands tall
exists among
you as a backdrop
you are hope
you are happiness
