Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Emotional Colors

Emotional colors

I wish I was red
No I wish I were purple
I wish I was green
How I wish it were true

I wish I were pink
No I wish I was yellow
I wish I were gold
Then I’d know what to do

I wish I were tan
No I wish I was orange
I wish I were black
It would be something new

I wish I were gray
No I wish I was turquois
But I’m none of them
For you see I am blue

M. L. Kiser December 18, 2018 at 10:09 AM Ah, so am I! Actually I am multiple colors of blue, sky, navy, royal, violet, turquoise, azure; you name it...blue! As an artist, this poem appeals. Beautiful done. Chris Green December 18, 2018 at 11:05 AM Thanks again M.L. Just something that crossed my mind one day.

Evelyn Collins December 7, 2018 at 1:27 PM using color to describe what can't be, usually. Very interesting, and very unique. I truly like your style Chris Green December 7, 2018 at 1:40 PM Thanks again Evelyn. This was just a silly one that came to me when I read a sad poem where someone said they were blue.

Probir Gupta December 6, 2018 at 6:40 AM I wish I were sitting before you ... Move my magic wand ... Made of words, of course ... Split the blue into all the shades you wish ... To enjoy much more ... pink beauty in the brevity Chris Green December 6, 2018 at 7:41 AM Thank you so very much Probir for your kind thoughts. Just a bad day that I am sure will change colors soon.

Ilene Bauer December 5, 2018 at 7:24 PM i hope you feel better soon, chris. i guess we're all blue from time to time but at least you're able to wonderfully express it in your poetry... Chris Green December 6, 2018 at 7:29 AM Thanks so much Ilene and welcome back. :)

Lin Lane December 5, 2018 at 1:48 PM Blue is my favorite color, and you can't be blue cuz you're Green. I hope you smiled, even if just a titch. Hugs, Chris. Chris Green December 5, 2018 at 2:25 PM Yes I did. I didn't even think of that when I wrote it. :) That shows you how screwed up my mind is today. Thanks so much Lin.
