I got a bit carried away this week and wrote one shadorma poem for each colour.

Backwards thinker (Yellow)

I focus

Yellow light expands

Clarifies

New ideas

Answers soon manifest as

Completed puzzles

Cloudy outcome (Gold)

Golden sun

Provides energy

Solar Power

Sounds perfect

Cloudy weather renders it

Unreliable

Needful adaption (Black)

Denial

Inevitable

Black thoughts come

Unbidden

Mind embraces acceptance

For self protection

Don’t wait (Purple)

Swollen eyes

Sporting dark bruises

Purplish

Fear tattoos

Follow your intuition

Before it’s too late

White disturbance (White)

Bright white light

Kills serenity

Reminder

Of anguish

Time spent in hospital rooms

Hoping for the best

Choices (Pink)

Anger brands

Pale cheeks a bright pink

Forgiveness

Is needed

To restore internal peace

A difficult choice

Seeking joy (Peach)

Juicy peach

Bursting with flavour

So tempting

Refreshing

Simple pleasures bring much joy

Transform attitudes

The student (Red)

Red blood pumps

Burning with passion

Misguided

Ill-fated

Destined to end in anguish

Life’s steep learning curve

The lie (Green)

Our planet

From space; green and blue

Wounds hidden

Smog disbursed

No healing necessary

The distorted truth

I don’t want it (Magenta)

Take it back

I hate magenta

Not purple

Not crimson

Confused colour in between

Take it back, I say

Lacking purpose (Grey)

Cloud cover

White tinged with light grey

Impassive

Nonchalant

Neutrality its purpose

No rainfall, no sun

The Balance (Blue)

Sky and sea

Dark blue meets light blue

Dramatic

Powerful

Nature’s great balancing act

Of air and water

Mislead

Those who seek

Sophistication

Purchase teal

Do they know

The namesake of the colour?

A small, dappling duck
