I love the metaphor of color to emotion and almost the childlike wonder about how to label emotions.
and it has so much more potential. You should get out the crayons and color this a little more.
As someone who's always found difficulty "staying in the lines", in regard to both coloring and emotions, i very much enjoyed this. Especially:
"Don't paint me in a corner
that's where the lines begin."
Lovely. :)
I've said it before, how you know this is good because you want the poet to continue on...
This poem was mentioned in the Archival Review thread, in a picking through Lit's archive of over 35,000 poems.
