If Colors Were

If colors were words
then I'd color a tune
and if words were colors
I'd give you the moon
and if red meant happy and gay
then blue would mean
things went astray
if green represents 
the life of things
then gold must mean
the color of rings
and if yellow is neutral
a no fighting zone
then brown must mean
where things went wrong
and white is no color
so no words at all
then black is the color
when we take the fall
and if pink is the color
of all that is great
then grey is the color
of this....my heartache......

Wonderful cavalcade of 'colorful comments,' Doris. I really liked them all, especially the beginning ones and the ending. A 'Happy Poem' smiling at me, the Reader. Thank you! Cheers, Gershon
