Orange is happy

03-quee-orange

Orange is happy,
fun.
The taste of orange is that of oranges,
juicy, yummy sweet.
The sound of orange is laughing,
good time, good mood.
The feel of orange is that of oranges
without the peel,
squeeze.
Orange is there,
running, jumping,
good.
Not the best,
not in demand,
but good.

Yellow, Orange & Green

Yellow as an oppressively sunny day

Too hot to let the kids go out and play

Orange as a jungle gym at rest

Helicopter parents want the best

Green as the newly enlivened leaves

Bursting from the trees that make me sneeze

All together citrus mostly sour

The colours of the season that’s most dour

Purple & Peach

Peach is a little bit orange, a little bit pink. A refreshing fruit smoothie on a hot summer day. Purple is the intersection of blue and red, and carries all the intellectual superiority of blue, with all the dangerous passion of red, making purple an arrogant elitist of the highest order.

Purple doesn’t like to share the spotlight, but Peach comes in as a friendly, unassuming friend, and promptly takes over, turning Purple into nothing but an accessory, as in the outfit above. Purple is, of course, aghast at first, but then realizes this is a chance to relax for a bit. She doesn’t always have to be in charge.

These two won’t spend a long time together though, because Purple can only be ignored for so long. She will come to resent Peach’s bubbly dominance, and push her to the side. Purple isn’t used to competition, she sees herself as a de facto winner. Peach is amused by this resentment and plays along for a while, pretending to be surprised, but eventually she will move on without putting up too much of a fight, because she’s got better things to do with her time, like spread joy wherever she goes. If Purple can’t appreciate that, it’s none of Peach’s concern.
