The Sounds Of Colours

Thunderous is the sound of Black
darkening the sky and
booming with a loud crack

Soothing is the sound of Green
leaves dancing in the breeze
and making one feel serene

Loud is the sound of Red
blood streaming from someone
screaming off her head

Silent is the sound of Blue
in a clear sunny sky which is
very tranquillizing too

Crunchy is the sound of White
icy snow lying on the ground
creating a beautiful sight

Mellow is the sound of Yellow
leaves sighing in the breeze
while falling to the earth below

Babbling is the sound of Colourless
water flowing in a rippling brook
on a ground filled with bumpiness

Boisterous is the sound of Crimson
rage from an angry mob
who pay no heed to reason

Whispering is the sound of Pink
flushed skin of sensuality
with an aphrodisiac drink

Pompous is the sound of Purple
representing royalty and
other aristocratic people

Hi Socrates, just a thought: confused

Sorrow is the sound of brown,
For autumn starts fall,
And Summer joys cease to abound;

Enjoyed the parallels drawn in this delightful piece...Thanks for sharing, my friend.hug

Hi Robert
Thanks for your kind comment.
I think your verse is great. I suppose it refers to the leaves turning brown.
This reminds me of a part of a song by Simon and Garfunkel:
"And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind,
And they crumble in your hand"

They were, and are, my favourite group. Their lyrics are pure poetry.
Thank you for reminding me of them.
Have a great day!
