Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Being Blind To Colour

During my early teens found it out
what did I find out? I colour blind
and so I am still same today
can't name some colours so hard to find

But I can still be amazed seeing
all the magnificent colours there is
so many types of blue to gaze upon
love all the bright that don't want to miss

Love red that's so real deep
so shining on lovely lipstick
yellow also so very startling
it's very bright that want to pick

Wearing brown makes me feel good
winter colouring effects viewing wood
colours aplenty lighten up my mood

Sandra Adams June 11, 2019 at 7:03 PM They test me every year for color blindness for my job, luckily I pass with ease! I cannot imagine life without all the beauty of colors. This piece made me think. I like that! Gordon Mcconnell June 11, 2019 at 8:56 PM Thanks Sandra, glad that it made you think, indeed what would our world be like without colour! Hope you are well, blessings from Scotland, Gordon

Brenda Chiri June 7, 2019 at 4:27 PM Wow Gordon my son has red green deficiency and can't tell those colors and if colors are all together he cant see purpled or any color that is directly from the red green families! Lovely write but my son when asked he can't describe the colors to me! Y dad was color blind and the dr said I carry the gene and passed it to my son! Wonderful!;) Gordon Mcconnell June 7, 2019 at 4:56 PM Thanks Brenda, glad it wowed you and that's most interesting that your son has this problem with colours. My main problem is with green and Brown as they both look the same, also my first job was apprentice electrician so you guess the problems that caused. Have a great weekend, thanks for replying, your dear friend, Gordon

Darlene De Beaulieu June 7, 2019 at 2:50 PM Hello Gordon McConnell, Gordon you andi have the same problem. i have trouble with colors. I have to ask someone - a shopper what color is this? Then i am told this is red, light grey etc. I stick with colors i can recognize.How about you? Have a nice day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu June 11, 2019 at 10:09 AM I also stick to colors I also stick to colors I know. I often have to ask a salesperson what color the item is before I try it on. I do the best i can when it comes to colors. Have a nice day my friend. Gordon Mcconnell June 7, 2019 at 3:37 PM Thanks Darlene, Glad you liked it and nice to know someone else shares the same problem, in fact, my first job was an apprentice electrician so you can guess the problems it caused consequently I had to leave it. I try to stick to what I know or my wife tells me what colour it is. Have a great weekend, Gordon

Jan Allison June 6, 2019 at 1:52 PM I guess as someone who doesn't suffer from this it is difficult to comprehend how it must be to see or not see colours in a different light. fascinating poem Gordon:-) hugs Jan xx Gordon Mcconnell June 6, 2019 at 2:11 PM Thanks Jan, glad you liked it and it fascinated you. Hope things are ok with you and hubby prayerfully yours,Gordon
