Red is the color of blood

Red is the color of pain 

Red is the color of love

Red is the color of rage

Orange is anxiety

Orange is the flame

Orange is the warning light 

Orange is the name

Yellow is the laughter

Yellow is the sun

Yellow is the coward’s mask

Yellow is the fun

Green is the envy

Green is the spring 

Green is the healing

Green is the sting

Blue is the sorrow

Blue is the sea

Blue is the silence

Blue is the plea

Indigo is dreaming

Indigo is deep

Indigo is secrets

Indigo is sleep

Violet is yearning

Violet is grace

Violet is bruises

Violet is space

And all of these colors live under my skin 

Please tell me you see me 

Please let me in.

Hello! It's your bestie CATS here for a review! Ahem, totally not gonna use it for points Anyways, this was the first work that popped up in the green room and it was a poem so I thought I'd better review it! Let's start.

Flash Of Glowing Eyes


So I think at a first glance, this associates/compares colors to feelings or emotions, which I find understandable. I love how creative you made it, all the colors of the rainbow! Let's move on to reading it!

Soft Fur


I just read it and you are meant to be a poet like seriously girl, you are destined! Also, I love the format of the rhymes (abab) just like I would do! I just love that format so much, that's why I use it and that's why you use it! Soft Fur is the places I loved the most.
Yellow is the laughter

Yellow is the sun

Yellow is the coward’s mask

Yellow is the fun

My favorite part because it rhymes and flows so smoothly! I also loved the BLUE part because first, it is my favorite color, and second, it shows deep emotions and sorrow from someone's heart.

Warm Purr


The Warm Purr is the places I think were the best, or you did well! Let's see...
Blue is the sorrow

Blue is the sea

Blue is the silence

Blue is the plea

As I said before, this shows mournful grief and feelings from the deep. And that rhymed. Yet again. But anyways, this was very well done.

Sharp Claws


I would like if you kept the rhyme pattern abab consistently throughout the entire thing, that would be AWESOME. But actually, you are so good at writing poems. PLS CONTINUE.

Concluding Meow


Overall, this was VERY WELL DONE and might be my favorite out of all your poems! The end really touched me, no one can relate to what we feel inside. Remove the mask...people are weak, insecure, about their beauties.
I LOVED THIS!!!
Happy Reading, Happy RevMo, Happy Writing, and Happy Poetry!
Love,
CATS

Omg this is just like
The Crayon Song Gets Ruined except more emotional

Analyzing
(thank you for letting me use this heading template i worked really hard on lol)

Ok, If you have seen any of my poetry works at all, you will know that I love Poetry about color (literally was my NaPo theme this year)

I love how there is thought put into each of these colors, and how the different topics can be united into one.
For example, while Red is both the color of Love and Anger, those are very strong emotional reactions, showing that Red is the color of passion
To go real quick, from what you wrote, it seems that you translated each of these colors as:
orange= Something visible; almost like a warning
yellow= Joy, but also the joy that masks something within
green= Nature. These feelings of envy and sting are as natural as how time heals all wounds
blue= The ocean/our mind, both explore a concept of endlessness like how sorrow knows no bounds and silence stretches all over
indigo= Darkness, as this color is the most common thing to see in an absence of light like the deep ocean, or the dead of night
violet= This one was a bit tricky to sum into one, but all these things you mention can be translated into something like: emptiness. Grace comes from when you are alone in the spotlight, bruises pop up when you sink into thoughts alone after you had a fight with someone, etc.


I really love when people dive deep into colors as much as I do, as colors are concepts that cross the barriers of cultures and languages and allows us to share our thoughts.

Happy writing!

Yes! I love colors! (I love your poems too)
