Fear-hope-relief: the sequence of recovery, portrayed using colours most effectively.
I feel for the poor kids, terrorized by the fear of more rain. Then the blue of hope appears and eventually sunshine will mop up... and there is relief the storm has passed.

Between the dust of dirt and the ash of fires yellow can be delivered anytime soon. Are you a resident Down Under, where for two years they have been havocked with disasters?

    You guessed well, Tom. I live in a land of extremes: " a land ... of droughts and flooding rains" as one of our loved poets (Dorothea Mackellar) said.

    Either better weather is on the way idk would suggest making reservations. Can you immigrate to Kiwiland - Nz?

    If I didn't have family here ... yes, NZ would be my next choice.

Beautifully written my friend, yes, blue was the preferred colour in the the last poem I read, so yes, after experiencing torrential rain in my daughter's adopted state for five consecutive days, and the subsequent flooding, I'd have to agree with you, beautifully written poem, blessings Roy

The colours certainly cover all the possibilities required of the prompt, and the movement of the weather changing moods as it moves along is clever. Well done and good luck in the contest.

This is a lovely way to travel through the stages of a storm/bad human experience. We do indeed travel through clouds of fear, conquered by hope, and move into the comfort of relief.

I thought this was excellent.

I enjoyed reading your poem. Using colors to describe certain events. The clouds a few days ago full of Nimbus clouds. It rained and stormed, and came and went several times. I would have hated to see what they looked like had it been daylight.

There are places that need rain, such as Vegas. If blue is the color of hope, we need it bad. And yellow for relief, would be a welcome sight. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day.
