Here is a fun poem about this celebration
Blue sky
Green grass
Yellow sandy beach
There's beauty in ever colour
Happy Holi
Let the colours fly
Let paint the Earth with love
The spring has just begun
The winter is sleeping
Happy Holi
Let all have some fun
Throwing each other with colours
And our clean clothes will get messy
It's the festival of colours
Paint me the colour of red
The colour of love
Because it's Holi
Oh you are so playful
You are such a fun person
Happy Holi!
