What colour is Tuesday?

Poetry about colour

By Alex B ClarkePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

What colour is Tuesday?

I always used to ask.

What colour is this Tuesday?

Until I came to realise that not everyone felt in colours.

For a few it was as simple as browsing the BBC weather app.

Some would like the game.

Others would think about it dearly.

Some still would perceive this question as uncomfortable.

Others would laugh.

Isn’t it alarming?

Fascinating.

The spectrum of perceptive modes we humans traverse.

Every situation – experienced slightly differently.

Shakespeare endowed words of colour with the power of emotions.

Virginia Woolf described feelings as light-speckled, rolling waves.

Glimmering and oscillating, until they came to a rest.

I see Tuesdays as orange.
