Natural Colour Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Leaves are green; sky is blue.
Milk is white; blood is red.
They're natural colours.
How do they get their colours?

A colour is a wave length
In the electromagnetic
Radiation of the Sun.
Beige is the Universe.

Green is a wave length
In the radiation
That the leaf will absorb
To be seen as green.

Red is a wave length
That the blood absorbs
And rejects others
To be seen as red.

Is there any colour
Original to these,
And is it same colour
To other animals?
