Andrea Dietrich Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

 

TAKE THE COLOR CODE TEST (it's fascinating and very true):

https://www.colorcode.com/personality_test/

WHAT THE COLORS MEAN: 

http://community.tncc.edu/faculty/dollieslager/colorcodepdf.pdf

This is not your standard Facebook kind of test. It's not about colors. The colors are just titles for personality types. There are negative and positive characteristics for each color but a person does not necessarily have many of the negative qualities in his color. In my colors, for example, I have laziness and indecisiveness. Those are very true for me!

The Opposite Colors of Me and You

(Anacreontic Verse)

My color is white -
white like a dove
seeking peace.
A second color
flutters near me.
It’s the yellow
of a canary 
that sings in the sun.
Basking in light,
it’s looking for fun.
Your color is red -
red like a fire,
a fire that crackles
and sometimes explodes.
The cool hue of blue
is following you -
cool like the sea.
Sometimes your blue
swallows the red
before you are
wholly consumed.
You can’t understand
the colors I am
though yours I try hard
to comprehend.
Burn with your red,
but I’ll softly coo.
Then cry your blue tears.
In the sunshine
I will keep singing.


This poem is based on a personality test (used by professionals) called The Hartman Color Code. We are born with a personality, which according to the man who devised this test, can draw certain people to us. In the case of my marriage, it was "opposites attract."
