Often a color reflects your feelings – sometimes positive, sometimes negative. Depending on your mood, what colors are you?
Sample Format: Select two colors:
Line 1: Describe the first color – you on a really good day
Line 2: Tell how that color makes you feel
Line 3: Elaborate a bit more on how that color makes you feel
Line 4: Tell how that color makes you react to your environment
Line 5: Describe the second color – you when things are not going so well.
Line 6: Tell how that color makes you feel
Line 7: Elaborate a bit more on how that color makes you feel
Line 8: Tell how that color makes you react to your environment
Line 9: Describe the color you are right now, as you are writing this poem
Line 10: Tell how the color is affecting you
Make this poem 3 stanzas. The first being the first color, the second being the second color and the third being the color you are while writing it. It can be a mix of the two colors or an unrelated color.
Example:
Some days I am blazing yellow
joyous, full of energy and funny.
Like a crazy obnoxious little monkey
yearning to explore the world!
Other days, I am fading gray
exhausted, and not ecstatic to journey through life
like a crumbled worn-out newspaper.
A snail, restless, hardly showing any emotions.
As time flies by me, writing this poem, I am blue.
A little bit restless, but having the competence to finish my poem.
Example 2:
On some days, I am white.
So innocent, so peaceful, so pure
Like a dove soaring in the skies,
Like the moon, smiling at night.
On other days, I am red.
Angry, fiery and painful
Like the Battle of Armageddon
Like Hell, burning everything to ashes.
When I am writing this poem, I am blue
Restless like Poseidon, the god of the seas.
