Colours bring us together
Colours tear some apart
Colours attract
Colours repel
Colours of familiarity
Colours of the unknown
Colours, Garden of Eden
Colours, a cosmic gag reel?

Lovely poem on colors, Eric. All hues have meaning and are important, evoking various emotions in us. Wishing you a vibrant weekend ahead. 🙂
Hello Lauren,
Thank you and I share your thoughts. All colours and hues evoke emotions.
All good wishes to you too,
Eric
Visiting after a long long gap and find the colours interesting as always . Hope colours colour our life in shades of peace and love
Hello Soumya,
Good to see you return.
True – colours do colour our lives.
Trust that all is well,
Eric
All is fine Eric , busier with the new activities and blogging takes backseat,yet I miss this small family here.
The energy source producing colours is consistent. It is only in the eye of the beholder that we recognize colours and decide how to relate to them. All are important.
Hello Ian,
You’re right about the energy source. I’m learning quite a few things from all the comments. Super!
BTW, you’ve not uploaded a post for quite some time. I hope all is okay – you lack the time and it has nothing to do with health.
All good wishes,
Eric
I’m struggling a bit these days so have been taking time to get enthusiastic about the new year. lol. I’ve set a goal to recommence in February so my first for the year will be end of this week. I’m slowly getting out of some of the responsibilities I’ve taken on in retirement and will just concentrate on my writing in future.
Thank you, Ian,
Good to know that you’ll start writing again.
Peace,
Eric
Architects are taught that colors selected for an environment affect the psyche of the occupants, so yes, you are right they are very significant. As a completely irrelevant aside I have to tell you about my brother’s garden fence which he painted as a rainbow with a full spectrum of graduating colors. It has become a local tourist attraction!
Dear Jane,
I learned something today – architects taught the importance of colours. Now that you’d mentioned it – it’s an obvious skill for an architect.
I love that aside regarding your brother’s fence. Must be some novelty – adding all that colour.
Cheers,
Eric
I simply (in the best sense of the word) love color. I hang my clothes in the closet in the order of the colors of the rainbow.
Hello Ina,
I agree, I too love colours. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I cannot imagine someone who does not love colours.
Cheers!
Eric
Colors can breathtaking. They can also be a gigantic mess. Colors have significance.
I love the photo design, and appreciate the insightfulness of the poem. It made me reflect deeply.
Hello Uzo, my dear friend,
I agree with the three points regarding colours – good ones, all.
Thank you also for your kind words,
Eric
Even the colors of clothing depict which season you belong to; whether spring, summer, fall or winter, e.g. peach (Spring) or a pale lavender (Summer), deep & bold colors for Autumn and cool for Winter. Colors are exciting, we can make them lively or dowdy depending on the time and mood.
You’re right, Windy,
In the Chinese culture for example, red is auspicious – used for weddings, marriages, and all joyous occasions. White is for funeral.
You also see colours in religions. For example, in Catholicism, the priests wear different coloured vestments over the liturgical year.
All good wishes,
Eric
i HAVE PUT put brightly colored shelf paper or wallpaper on my furniture not to be depressed. Colors affect me greatly.
Hello Shalilah,
Bright colours add cheer, don’t they. And dull colours combined with poor light – can be the pits. I’m all for vibrant colours and bright light.
Wishing you a lovely week ahead,
Eric
Colours can be everything, or nothing at all.
I had to pause and reflect on your words. Yes, you are right.
Cheers,
Eric
Glad to know that I’m sometimes right. 🙂
