The Colors of Emotion

An ABC Poem

The Colors of Emotion

Amber eyes he had were dull,

Blue loyalty was broken,

Cyan peace was missing,

Dusty rose affection he used to give me,

Emerald wealth he struck,

Fuchsia cheer left him too,

Green envy was his motive,

Hazel wisdom he thought he had,

Indigo creativity too,

Jade abundance had come too quickly,

Khaki trust I lost in him,

Lavender devotion was not safe,

Maroon force I had to use,

Navy blue power was almost too much,

Orange ambition called him anyway,

Purple luxury was what he wanted,

Queen pink cheeks were faded,

Red passion had long been gone,

Silver glamour I was apparently lacking,

Teal decency I had too much of,

Ultramarine humility too,

Violet mindfulness I kept,

White purity too,

Xanthous hair wouldn’t be seen anymore,

Yellow happiness I could still have,

Zomp eyes I had were full of light.
