Colour-ways
Do you think of a number or letter as a specific colour? Do some words have a taste? When you listen to a piece of music, does a colour come to mind? If hearing certain words conjures up other images or senses, you may enjoy this poem.What colour is red?
It’s loud
What colour is blue?
It’s proud
What colour is orange?
It’s fresh
What colour is yellow?
It’s splash
What colour is indigo?
Deep
What colour is violet?
Sleep
What colour is green?
It’s spring
What colour is love?
It’s King
It’s loud
What colour is blue?
It’s proud
What colour is orange?
It’s fresh
What colour is yellow?
It’s splash
What colour is indigo?
Deep
What colour is violet?
Sleep
What colour is green?
It’s spring
What colour is love?
It’s King
