Purple

Color poem! My first

purple is mysterious,

 but purple is simple.

 purple is dark,

 but purple is light.

 purple is happy,

 but purple is sad.

 purple is strong,

 but purple is gentle.

 purple can be fire,

 but there is purple rain.

 purple has a lot of pain,

 but purple has a lot of gain.

 purple is girly,

 but purple is manly.

 purple is me,

 but what hue are you

I like purple, but personally, I like green the best! first because I was born in march, also because it is the luckiest, liveliest, most vibrant(other than yellow) and because it's ... well ... Green!

[Alrick]

Great piece! i've always loved colors and their meanings, and i love this!

[♪The Girl Next Do..]

Excellent. Last line is powerful. I'll have to decided what color I am! Great write! I loved it :3

[Harley (arbiter)]

Yaaaaaay! Glad ya liked it!

[Harley (arbiter)]

And technically the last line is a Phoenix soo I hope it's powerful Haha!

[♪The Girl Next Door♪]

I did! I think I'm more of a green hue, but purple is my second choice :)

I like the poem not just because purple is my girlfriend's favorite color but also because of the meanings of the color conveyed by the writer. I also love the way the writer described purple paradoxically. However, the structure doesn't look like a poem. The writer should have written it in verses and/or stanzas. But since there is a rhythmic pattern and a rhyme scheme, it sounds very much like a poem when read.
Keep writing (=

[Harley (arbiter)]

OK. Hey man. I'm on a phone and Well I can't do stanzas and etc. Mobile sites messed up. I can't hit enter. :/ sorry but until I get a computer just.... imagine

[Sir Joe]

oh, I see,,,now I understand why the structure is like that.
Having said that, I like the poem even more. (=

[Harley (arbiter)]

Yeah Thanks man! Glad you did. I should start putting the whole mobile site thing back into authors note huh :

Whoa. Did you just reference back to Prince's song "Purple Rain"?
Mindblow. I thought I was the only teenager who knew who Prince was.
Harley, I love you.
I'M JKJKJKJKJKJKJKJKJKJK!!!!! DON'T SIC YOUR GF ON ME!!
And there is nothing, and I mean nothing, wrong with purple. I DYED MY HAIR PURPLE ONCE!!!
But I didn't wait long enough and it... washed out in.... um, the pool.
Traumatic memories.

So anyways, is that a reference to Prince?

[Harley (arbiter)]

Lol. No it's a reference to Prince & The Revolution. And I don't have a gf... Well not really but nm. And I ain't got enough hair to dye purple lol

[Harley (arbiter)]

Lol. No it's a reference to Prince & The Revolution. And I don't have a gf... Well not really but nm. And I ain't got enough hair to dye purple lol and actually I have a poem inspired by "purple rain" with same title

[A. V. Madison]

Unmindblown. But you should google that song and listen to it. If you like 80's classics then you'll fall in love with Prince.

[Harley (arbiter)]

Whoops. I thought the 1St one didn't go through and I know. I love prince

[Renée]

Purple is a very strong ..royal color..but yes..it gives the darkness..a bit of flash & edge ..

[Aehr]

Purple is the blue and red mixed of pure eternity and a new born child.

Loved it.

[Aehr]

true...

[Abbie]

great poem harley! glad you like purple! I think that purple is okay, but I think Green is the best :P

[BuffyWillowDawnAngelGil..]

I can't stand purple because I think of boys=blue, girls=pink, and "PURPLE-ING!!" and I like blue best, because even though people think it's a sad color I think it's happy because the sky is so blue and the sky seems happy when it's blue, it's unhappy when it's gray.

[Harley (arbiter)]

Everyone has their own opinion on colors. I'll respect you're if you respect mine deal? :) lol

[BuffyWillowDawnAngelGilesSpike]

P.S., so funny! on MyFolio I found a pic like your profile pic except it has the shape of fire.

[Harley (arbiter)]

Huh? Can ya explain a little more on that I didn't quite follow. Pm me

[BuffyWillowDawnAngelGilesSpike]

Oh, MyFolio is a website where people share their art and somebody did a piece that looks like purple fire. Random, I know and this has absolutely nothing to do with your art!

[That_Girl]

PURPLE!!!!!! I love purple. :) And this poem... because it loves purple too. ;)
