Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a poem I wrote using The Wizard Of Oz as my inspiration. I thought it would make a really cool metaphor for that feeling you get when you meet someone new, and the tornado of falling in love takes you away from the black and white world you live in. At first you feel overwhelmed by all these things you've never experienced, but you choose to be bold and follow her to a place that is so colorful, enchanting, and absolutely intoxicating. Being with her is like being in a dream you don't want to wake up from. She makes you want to leave your cold, gray world behind, because it's just not as beautiful as hers.
