Other Colours I See

There are some colours
I see differently
Telling them apart is tough
This is what I see
That no one else does

The colour true red
I would recognize
Shades that are different
I'm not able to know
I struggle all the time

Show me the colours
Light grey I see pale blue
Black is navy blue
Navy blue is black
I can not tell the them apart

The diference shads of red
I see the colour orange
In a pile of the same shades together
There are no difference in the shades

If I do not know the colours
To a shopper I would appbroch
I find them very helpful
I do this all the time
They tell me the right colours

Paul Callus June 15, 2017 at 1:18 PM I have always found this topic intriguing, Darlene. Seeing colours mixed up is perhaps not as 'bad' as being totally colour blind. Living in a world of shades of black and grey is beyond my imagination, so to say. ~ Regards // paul Darlene De Beaulieu June 15, 2017 at 1:27 PM Hello Paul. My colour blindness is not that bad. It is only certain colours that are my problems.Black, and grey are also problems to tell apart. I've been like that all my life. Regards

Scott Thirtyseven June 15, 2017 at 8:49 AM You have done a nice job of letting your readers understand colour blindness, well penned. Unfortunately my piece crispy skinned Cossages is not so clear. I just wanted the readers to play with their imagination. So far I've not succeeded. Thanks though, for giving it a read. Darlene De Beaulieu June 16, 2017 at 7:59 AM Thank you Scott,it is not always easy to tell the difference in colours.I did not understand your poem either. I did try hard to.

Lisa Ricci June 15, 2017 at 6:53 AM Good Morning Darlene. If this is true to life for you I'm very sorry. I know men have this problem. At least my dad does. However, when sight or colors are distorted in any way that brings sadness to me. I have had cataract surgery on both eyes thus I know the importance of sight and imagery. Well done entirely. Have wonderful morning and day. Darlene De Beaulieu June 16, 2017 at 8:02 AM I have been coloured blind all my life.But not to all colours.Can you see better now that you had the surgery on your eyes? That must have been very rough.

Dean Wood June 14, 2017 at 8:58 PM Fun poem. Your Father must have also been color blind. Darlene De Beaulieu June 16, 2017 at 8:05 PM Hello Dean ,no my father was not colour blind. I am the onlyone that is.
