Interesting and true. I always thought red was anger, thank you for educating me. Next time I go to the casino I will be sure to wear purple for luck. Your poem is a fun read and well written. These days we need fun wherever we find it.

Oh yes there are some colors I maybe could have added. Thanks for taking time to read and review. Much appreciated. Take care and I hope you have luck at the casino. You certainly will stand out in your purple outfit.

A very creative poem using the different colours and emotions that we associate with them. Brown being deep thought is one I've not heard of before. Nicley written Barry. Cheers

Valda,
Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review my poem. Some readers have also pitched in with their own color and emotions. Very interesting.
Take care and have a wonderful day.

Comment from Heather Knight
I love this and it would have been super useful for my EFL lessons (with your permission, of course). Unfortunately, I taught my last class yesterday and from now till the end of June we have exams every day. Yuck.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Heather,
Good luck with exams. Thanks again for the six stars and you have my permission to use the poem in your lessons. I am quite honored and I wish you a great day. Take care and keep writing.

I?ll use it next course. We won?t teach again till September. And I will of course write your name at the bottom of the post or photocopy. I still have to decide what kind of activity I want to do with it.

No worries Heather. Do with it what you want with the appropriate acknowledgement as mentioned. Thanks for becoming a fan. Next up will be a flash fiction entry. Have not done a story for awhile.
Take care and have a great day. Glad you won.
Barry

What did I win? I'm not writing at all at the moment because I'm busy with grading and drawing, so I haven't been able to drop in as often as I should have. Or as I'd like. Take care.

Like to, sorry.

Yes life has a habit of getting in the way of writing. Never mind it will work out. Could be a story in it all. Enjoy

Thanks 😊

Dear Poet, this delightful
poem has given me a
craving for rainbow sherbet!
A very colorful and melodious
poem. I think it would of
been well received in the
current colors writing prompt.
Have a Happy Weekend!

Lol. Rainbow Sherbet now that is something I have not seen over here for quite some time.
It is unfortunate that I posted this before the announcement of the colors writing prompt. Oh well, them the brakes and I am just glad you and some others have liked it.
Take care and have a good day.
Cheers

Well, perhaps those colorful terms are more Western Culture (of a European origin) but, I get the point. Such colorful terms are well known to be representative in our society of feeling and states of being.
Very interesting post.

Your writing is cute and creative. I never thought of how much our lives are color oriented. I love the artwork you chose for the poetry. It is perfect for the subject of the writing.

I love what colour brings into our lives, and always appreciate what floral things and the beauty likewise bring to a world that's lost its allure for so many, beautiful written. Barry, great rhyming and articulate post, well done, blessings Roy

Thanks Roy,
Yes I also believe that the world has lost its allure to many, many people. Wish I could wave amagic wand and wipe all the bade stuff away. Anyway, you and your family have a great day. Oh, and thanks for the review.
Cheers

Comment from Eternal Muse
I liked your study on colors and explaining what each color means. My favorite is blue - what is its meaning? (smile).
Great creative imagery and visuals, your occasional rhyming and a subtle humor.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I enjoyed reading this lovely verse with its colourful theme and picture and a good, positive message. I would just make one comment which, in my view, might provide a better flow: perhaps in the first stanza "Go green because we're (instead of we are) envious and in the second: And feeling blue- means we are (omitting 'that') down. That would allow for 8 syllables consistent with the 1st lines of those 2 stanzas and 1st and 3rd in the 4th. I liked the change of pace in the third stanza. Best wishes, Debbie

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
That's true. Well written. Your poem could have gone on, because there really are so many color words in our lives. The image went well with your words. There was some humor, too. I enjoyed reading this. :))
