One: Smokey grey; the kind that blurs your vision or gathers in corners of ceilings that are somehow still not as high as you. Two: The teal that masked the bedroom walls of my old home; the bedroom with nothing but a mattress on the floor and my unplugged television. I was eco-friendly, which leads me to Three: Green: any and all greens. Mother Nature makes it obvious she loves its hues, and I strive to be one with this Earth. Four: Whether fueled by anger or love, give me rose-colored shades and I'll rock 'em with grace and style like none before. My red blood boils with passion. Five: Making concrete decisions is not my forte, so choosing a final favorite will leave me second guessing. Combine all the options and give me a rainbow, because when we see a color, it is actually that color being reflected while all the other colors are absorbed. They work together, as we should. You bring the crayons and I'll bring the blank canvas, let's paint the world rainbow together.
The president of my college's Poetry Club recently said to me, "This is a little random, but what are your five favorite colors? Please be as specific and poetic as possible." Naturally, I wrote more than just a list of colors.
