Green

Verdant, emerald, verde.

Trees in spring, grass in the wind.

Money (that cash, chedda, cabbage), envy.

The monster wit those eyes when you hate what someone has.

Your face on that ride that goes up and down, round and round.

          Blue

Sky, sappphire, azul.

Deep oceans, sparkling eyes.

Periods of sadness, deep depression.

Calming and soothing vibe.

White

Eggshells, nothingness, blanco.

Fluffy clouds, soft linens.

Cotton T-shirts, tennis shoes.

Elegant gloves, iced out jewels.

          Black

Night, foul smoke, negro.

Onyx stones, beaches in Hawai’i .

Holes in us, holes in earth.

Clothes, whether elegant or not.

Makes ya look slim and tight.

Yellow

Sunlight, brightness, amarillo .             

Happy times, smiley faces.

Lemon rind, lemon flesh.

Signs and neon lights.

Glow of auras during meditation.

          Red

Fire, rage, rojo.

Anger and burning.

Passion, sensuousness.

Seduction and late night calls.

Stop.

          Orange

Rind, flesh, naranja.

Glow of sunset and sunrise.

That root with beta carotene.

That breakfast juice.

Fake tans.

Me, you, us.

Rich soil, rich eyes.

Gloomy moods, silvery hair.

Bars of certain cages, containing birds of different colors.

Steel walls, concrete walls.

Ragin storms.

Elizabeth Taylor’s eyes, Prince’s rain, morado.

Sky at deep sunset and early sunrise.

My aunt’s favorite color, color her man loves.

Royalty, color accenting their clothes.

          Peach

Some people’s skin, mixes with otha shades, melocotón.

That fruit that mixes wit anything, adding flavor.

Sky when the sun peeks out at dawn, artificial color.

Orangish tinge, pale orange to some.
