The Colors

by sn3ak1e   Mar 15, 2009


My skin is kind of sort of brownish
Pinkish yellowish white
My eyes are grayish bluish green
But I'm told they look orange at night
My hair is reddish blondish brown
But it's silver when I'm wet
And all the colors I am inside
Have not been invented yet

My tumor is kind of sort of gray
Blackish brownish or red
My hair is blondish light and thin
But I'm told it's going dead
My spirit's color has not changed
I don't think i need a vet
And all the colors I am inside
Have not been invented yet

    Deep write. I love the color description and all. I like the lines;
    "My spirit's color has not changed
    I don't think i need a vet
    And all the colors I am inside
    Have not been invented yet"
    Just rich with emotion and such beauty.

    "My skin is kind of sort of brownish
    Pinkish yellowish white
    My eyes are grayish bluish green
    But I'm told they look orange at night"

    Good descriptions to show the reader visuals and bring them into this piece.

    "My hair is reddish blondish brown
    But it's silver when I'm wet
    And all the colors I am inside
    Have not been invented yet"

    Excellent rhyming and wording, keep writing on.

    "My tumor is kind of sort of gray
    Blackish brownish or red
    My hair is blondish light and thin
    But I'm told it's going dead"

    Very meaningful and deep words you have written here.

    "My spirit's color has not changed
    I don't think i need a vet
    And all the colors I am inside
    Have not been invented"

    The rhyming was off here but I loved how you described your eye color, hair color then you say your spirit's color has not changed. Very brilliantly expressed and written. Just one thing, the "i" needs to be capitalized, just proper grammar. Otherwise nice work, tons of emotions and really touched my heart.

    4/5 from me, keep writing, always and forever.

    God Bless You And Take Care!
