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

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.

using color to describe what can't be, usually. Very interesting, and very unique. I truly like your style

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.

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

Thank you so very much Probir for your kind thoughts. Just a bad day that I am sure will change colors soon.

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.

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.
