Coral Pink

It's still alive, the rose he gave 
Coral pink like the blush of our cheeks
It's life makes my own so worthless
Thriving upon nothing, for weeks
They say that colors make the mood
I don't live by what others say
I only pick the ones I want to hear
And then I go on my way
If he is happy I know not
I only know this old rose is still pink
If the sky is crying, let me cry too
Washing away each tear as I blink
Fading as each day passes by
But faithfully retaining it's hue
Lying nostalgically beside my bed
Stunningly against the wall's blue

Pleasing rose poem. Especially like the line "It the sky is crying, let me cry too." No wonder it won a contest. Warm regards.

I agree, I think colors do affect our moods sometimes, as does the weather. You described your emotions in a unique and beautiful way. A very nicely written quatrain, Juli-Michelle! Wonderful work!...Thank you for the placement in your contest. I appreciate it very much!
