I’m black like coal,
with deep faith living within my soul.
I’m red like fire,
not afraid to speak my mind
or seek my deepest desire.
I’m amber tone, enjoying quiet
evenings, sitting alone.
I’am white like a river’s stream,
finding happiness within my dreams.
I’m yellow like the bright sun wanting
freedom for everyone.
I’m brown like the richness of the earth,
loving all it’s gifts and powerful worth.
I’m blue like the precious sky, looking
forward to peace and serenity, one day
coming for me and you.
I’m not one colour, oh no not me, I love
all colours, they are all apart of me.

I enjoyed how you gave your own personal take in each of the similes involving the colors. Almost like a psychological test. What is red like? Some people may say anger, you related it to your passion. What is yellow? Although many may say the sun, they would say because of warmth or light. Your yellow sun wants freedom for everyone. You passed the test.: -) Beautiful poem, Melvina.

Whatever the color you can only see the positives, says a lot about you. Thanks Melvina
