The Sounds of Colours

Thunderous is the sound of Black
darkening the sky and
booming with a loud crack

Soothing is the sound of Green
leaves dancing in the breeze
and making one feel serene

Loud is the sound of Red
blood streaming from someone
screaming off her head

Silence is the sound of Blue
in a clear sunny sky which is
very tranquillizing too

Crunchy is the sound of White
icy snow lying on the ground
creating a beautiful sight

Mellow is the sound of Yellow
leaves sighing in the breeze
while falling to the earth below

Babbling is the sound of Colourless
water flowing in a rippling brook
on a ground filled with bumpiness

Boisterous is the sound of Crimson
rage from an angry mob
who pay no heed to reason

Whispering is the sound of Pink
flushed skin of sensuality
with an aphrodisiac drink

Pompous is the sound of Purple
representing royalty and
other aristocratic people

Thank you, Dr Mehta, for your appreciation of "The Sounds of Colours". I enjoyed the exercise of feeling and listening to the sounds of these colours, while composing the piece.

The contest for which I wrote this piece was advertised for the sounds of COLOURS (implying more than one) but the sponsor changed it to the sound of a single colour afterwards so I could not submit it. So, in that sense, it is a missed poem. I am submitting it for your missed poem contest.

I'm glad you enjoyed this poem, Dr Mehta. I did not miss the contest. As I explained, I could not submit this because of the change made by the sponsor.
