Humour In Living Colours

Dark green is my jealousy, red is my love Purple is for righteous anger And that from heaven above. Blue is my humour side But it is really quite pale. Brown is for misery, But we don’t want to hear that tale... Golden is my namesake For that I am not to blame It was my burnt golden coloured car Parked in a shady lane. Yellow is for happiness, and time to get in the sun White is for the soothing lotion, when I find I've burnt my bum. Black is for the night- time, and I see a lot of it Mid green is for the grass and the foxes poo that's on it. Orange is for laughter, well I mean it’s got to be Anyone seen wearing orange is up for a laugh sure-ly. Brown apart from being fox poo, is a soothing colour Grey is so dreary, you couldn’t get much duller. Then we get into all those names that no one can spell or remember Taupe and mauves and stranger ones, of that club I’m not a member. Pinks are for baby girls all rosy and perfection Boys are in the blue tones, there is quite a selection. But for me the best colour is the green that shines so bright In the eyes of my lover, of whom I dream at night

this is really a charmer, Mandy. I love reading poems like yours. they are so enjoyable!! For me, I just prefer poetry that is either funny or easy to understand. the deep abstract stuff some people write, I don't care for too much. Keep 'em coming, more like this, sweetie!!
