I Am Grey! (Colour) Poem by Rabia Fazal

I Am Grey! (Colour)

Rating: 5.0


I am grey!
I am all around the way,
Lying on the roads and alley,
And on me, the crowd passes away.

Clouds mingle with me,
Causing heavy shower,
Children dance with glee,
Doing salsa with every flower.

As people grow, with age
I make their hair my shelter,
And they overcome with rage, as
they know I will never alter.

Browny, greeny, pinky,
All, think of me,
As a gnome who is ugly,
With a tag of being gloomy.

But they will know never,
I am conservative,
And the neutral shade ever,
And in the backgrounds of houses, paintings I live.

Shades also build up rainbow,
Therefore I am happy to say
All have its own nature and glow,
And I am also one 'Grey'.


Dear friends,
This poem is a concise personification of the colour grey.It first tells about it's uses of being the colour of the roads, the rainy clouds,
hair of older ones, , although it is so dark and not one of the favourites of it's friends(other colours) .Yet it has no sorrow for it because it is a neutral shade for it is the combination of black and white, a very conservative colour and good for use as a bacground colour.Therefore it is happy because every colour has its own nature and uses.
I have tried a different piece of work and I myself cannot judge it.Please add your ideas about this personification of a 'colour'.

What an original idea for a poem. Try to imagine to be a colour and from there write this very melodious verses. Fantastic. Some days we feel a bit like 'grey' ourselves (a bit trampled upon, our sky dark and cloudy) but realising our intrinsic worth at all time is a great antidote to the gloomy days. Keep it up.
