Let's color the sky a pretty shade of blue, Because that's how I feel when I think of you. Let's color in the clouds with a stormy gray, That's how I'm feeling, how I'm feeling today.
Let's color in the sun with EBONY BLACK, It hasn't shone for me once since the attack. Let's color the background in shades of blood red, I don't feel like coloring, because you're dead.
Let's color me in nauseated shades of green, Who can tell me what life is supposed to mean? Why did you color the lake a bright yellow? Because I'm going crazy! You wanna go?
Why did you color the trees magenta pink? I thought it would be prettier, don't you think? Let's color the sun's rays a dark burnt umber, That's the color that wil help me remember...
I've made a mistake, look, my picture's a mess!
My world has been colored in shades of ugly. Someone, someone, please take these crayons from me!

oh wow...this is definitely going to my library :) I really do like your poetry. You are so descriptive and full of emotion.
Excellent message conveyed!
I think I shall write about the proper colors,okay?
Give me a day or two since we have no computer.
The motherboard is blown and we will have to buy
a new one which we do not have the money! UGH!
Excellent poem! Thanks for reviews Sweety!

All I can say this night..Spain ..Italy. Germany are out of euro 2004 football championship..Relates to those who never saw Mr Blairs brave vision. And the way England have done the best to help. And faught this week not to allow europe have charge of our forces.
Karla you really have been using exceptional imagery
lately! Wonderful poem about a horrific subject we can
never erase from our memories, and shouldn't!

So we are side by side.
Sad day, but must march on to victory.
Which we will.
Well done beaut..
Seems its getting uglier and uglier since that god-awful day, too.
Unique, and very powerful, poem, Karla.
