If possible, I would've attached this song to this entry: http://tinyurl.com/28lzch
This is the color of freedom. Flowing proudly, for infinity. Endless shades and types. This is the color of the ocean. Waves, strong and proud. The whiff of sea-salt, the splash of foam. Fishing, till the sun sets. This is the color of the sky. Clouds, floating senselessly. Sunshine, dancing. This is the color of darkness. Coldness, uncaring. Sadness, depression. This is the color of the ocean. Murderous tsunamis. Drowning whirlpools. Hurricanes. Ghosts of sunken ships, wandering endlessly along the bottom of the sea. This is the color of the sky. Flooding rain. Thundering crashes. Clouds darkening. This is the color of calmness. This is the color of soothing. The color of tranquility. The color of serenity. This is the color of inner peace. The color of relief. The color of wind whistling in your ears. The color of ease, Reassuring you that everything will be okay. It will turn out fine in the end. So have no worries. P.S. Hanuka Matata.
Please click me! I'm dying!
EDIT: Oh crap I'm dead. Click me anyways, cause I'm awesome.

When my time does come, child of mine, No matter the distance, our souls are twined. I'll always be there. When you laughingly sniff that American Rose, Then toss it into the wind as it does blow, I'll laugh as well. As you watch that beautiful Cardinal sing, Sitting daintily on that wooden swing, I'll duet with it. When you sample that delicious Carmine food, And savor the black tea, freshly brewed, I'll help plan that trip to Italy. But during the bad as well as the good, I'll be at your side where any mother should. I'll always be there. As you watch them cut down our Rosewood tree, That held many a memory, I'll weep along. When he leaves you with nothing but a Ruby ring, Strutting along as if he were king, I'll have felt betrayed as well. And in the end as you look upon your Pink tiny child, And know your sacrifice was well worth the while, I'll be waiting. Now open your eyes child of mine, And spread your wings for it is time. You'll need to be there. ~.~.~.~.~ Okay, I probably need to explain how this poem fits in with the color thing. You said what we create could be about what you think of when you think of this color, yes? Well, to me Life is Red, Death is Black. But because my favorite color happens to be black, I wanted to incorporate this as well; so my theme came out to be something between Life and Death. Red and Black. But since I needed this to be more about Red, every italic word in the poem is actually a shade of red. I hope this is acceptable.^^

Dull. Bland. Boring. All of these describe this colour. Often assosciated with storms or clouds. Generally describing someone who lacks imagination. Seen as something easy for those risk avoiders. Commonly seen in the work place, covering the backs of dull businessmen or women. Never seen as a thing of beauty nor admired. Not often used in the home, easily replaced by brighter colours. Never appreciated for its outstanding ability to collaborate with all other colours. Always shooed away as people age and it appears in their hair. All of these describe this colour.

This is the color of hope. It brings the new day light, and the darkness bright. A world of sunshine That makes things grow So special it seperates the day from night. To some, a dandelion in the breeze, A goldfish swimming in a pool, or even the leaves in the fall. Everyone sees it And feels it on their skin, that light burn after hours on the beach But it isn't just sunshine, or nature, or leaves, not just a bunch of pigments, because it is not just one thing, but everything that begins, because sunshine makes the planet grow the green trees, and blue waves, from the explostion of light that made the universe. it is the color of new begginings Well...pretty bad, but worth a shot. Good job on everyone who entered!

Root, Stray and Mickey: All excellent entries, thank you! Taila, I'm sorry, but if you read the first post more closely, that color is not on the list. You are welcome to use another entry instead of that one, though. :)

Taila: I said that under the art section, clarifying that "black and white" includes shades of gray. I'm sorry if that was misleading. D:

Oh no. It's my fault for not reading it right. I'll see if I can't conjur up something for another colour.

My entry. Note: I am a mediocre artist at best, and the picture is really only to compliment the text. Done on white paper, with black paint. Sorry if the entry's a little sad. Its about my mum, who died a year ago, of liver failure. Her eyes were green. My mother's eyes were windows to somewhere else entirely. Within her loving gaze was the kind of place where the grass blew lazily for miles, not a single tree to break the skyline. They were the first things I saw, and they taught me what forever felt like. Those vast plains held all the depth of a mother's all consuming love, along with the quiet pain that she vowed to never let me feel. I realized, when the end was near, that the very worst thing was those eyes closing for the last time. I realized that even though those baby worlds were drowning in oceans of sickly yellow, that my mother's eyes were God's eyes too. So when I said goodbye, I whispered to her that I finally knew why she was always looking out the window. I told her that the place she was looking for, Heaven, was already inside of her. And she smiled.

Entering for blue. Here I am. In your favourite cotton blouse. Feel the rich texture, so silky smooth underneath your fingertips. I am there. Look up at the sky, and see me, no matter the time of day. People call me midnight, people call me ocean, people call me robin egg. But I am much more than that. For once in my life, I've found someone who can truly understand my very fears-- that I will be known as objects, as ideas, nothing more. Nobody but they notice what I am-- me, not the sky, not the ocean, not the robin egg. Nothing like that. My sibling, who shines brighter than the sunset's richest hues, who is more subtle than the brush of colour you hold under your nose to sniff-- she truly understands me, understands my need to be known for who I am. Who I want to be. Who said I couldn't be more than what people think of me as?
my name's russ and i only care about uldavi and cute men

She'd always been beautiful. Luxurious. Royal. She wore nothing but long, flowy dresses. She smoked simply because it made her look dark and attractive without being too straightforward like her mother was. She didn't want romance - she just wanted people to worship her like a queen. Like some kind of goddess. Not surprisingly, they did. Even when we were kids, people would compliment her on her looks. She wasn't just cute, like all the other kids - she was downright gorgeous. Honestly, it was daunting. I really don't know how we became friends. I may have been popular and charismatic back then, but she was completely out of my league. If she'd wanted to, she could have easily swept the country as a child actress.
That is, if she'd wanted to. Behind that pretty face was a ram. A stubborn ram. No one ever noticed it, she was so calm, but I could tell. No matter how quiet she was, she never did a thing that didn't follow exactly what she wanted. Her parents did try to get her out there to be an actress once. Of course she didn't do it. She was too sophisticated. Acting was a thing someone with a brighter personality, like me, would do. Something for people who needed the publicity in order to get the attention. Neither came even close to describing her. So, she told her parents no. When she recited the story for me later, she said it in the gentlest voice you can imagine. Just.. no. Simple and sweet. They couldn't have argued with her, even if they tried. She went as far as staying in her room for the next week, just in case they tried to take her for any auditions. She was patient. Persistent. She was flawless. Yes, I'll admit it. I fell for her just as hard as everyone else did. Of course I was always happy, but somehow this perfect girl made me even happier. There wasn't a single thing wrong with her. She never made a mistake. She never outright hurt anyone. In high school, I even tried asking her out. I was an idiot. I should have known I didn't have a chance. No one did. She was just on too high a pedestal for anyone to reach. This.. is how we get to today. Today I find myself a completely different person. A person with a knife in his hand and not a thought of happiness in his head. Today I find myself towering above my oldest and best friend. Above a goddess. I didn't do it because she denied me. I didn't do it because I was jealous. I did it because it had to be done. That pedestal was just too damned hypnotic.
