Colors

Colors change

With varying emotional range

When you blush
A sheepish pink
You fail to blink
You fear and wonder
Whether to turn black as thunder
Or go white with fright
Or stay peaceful calm
And save from harm
Whether you choose to be craven yellow,
Sunny warm or sallow
You feel the blood rush
Through the vein

With the passionate flush

Of fiery red flame
Turn purple with pain
Or have the scarlet taint
When you get the blame
You choose your paint
Either grow mean with envy
To vent your spleen
Like the poison ivy
Or grow romantic green!
