Mark, your colours really do have a mind of their own — they jumped out of the page and tapped me on the shoulder. This whole piece felt like a bedtime story that refused to stay still. Thank you for the little burst of magic today~!
The way this text describes the language of colors allows not just the eyes but the heart to feel them, it’s stunning and deeply touching. It shows the soul of colors...some are recognized not by name but by feeling, the joy or comfort we find when embraced by someone.
There's something about colour that lands before words do, and really shows the soul of them.
We feel blue is cool, green is calming, yellow makes us light up and even look up, and they can all bring joy, comfort, and what we need and desire.
Really pleased it resonated and you liked it, and I'll be writing a bit more about this in the coming weeks in one or two posts on The Colour of Language.
The Colour of Language - a short journey into using colour with
Something Dreadful - an exploration in how to bring a sense of dread in your writing. How you can create or “invoke” fear but with no blood, guts or horror.

Thank you Asuka!
Have a wonderfully colourful day, where the rainbows come out to play and the darkness stays away!
With a little sprinkling of magic dust on top ~!
The pleasure is shared, Mark~!
This was wonderful I felt alll the colours!!! Why do I feel instantly happier!?
Aww thank you so much for the reflection Regolith!
Colours touch us somatically before we even know and can really do that😊
Oh how I wish
I had grew up with your poems!
A bear to squish,
And a book to spill on me colors.
I loved 😍 this exercise in rainbowish so much, it's therapy for sadness. Thank you!
Thank you Nicole!
Glad you liked it 😊
This was lovely. Something in the gentle humor of it reminded me of Frost's "A Girl's Garden."
Thank you so much @Muirae D Kenney !
I will definitely look that up😊

Oh wow. I started this smiling, loving the playfulness, and then you sucked me in. By the time I hit
"Leave One Colour Undefined
A space, a pause, a soft unknown.
A colour children find alone."
my mouth was actually hanging open. This is mischievous and profound, wrong footing me always. Wonderful.
Thank you!
I was hoping the playfulness could lure a little Moll into the Colourful Hole.
Do you remember how, as a kid we used to find and name things?
Not in a way adults would, so we could own them.
Just in the same way slang in later life turns into a secret dialect hidden from the elders, IRL (😂).
Maybe we learnt to do this from an early age, but just forget how much fun it was.
Glad you loved it!
I do remember that! Maybe it was one of the roots for our later love of playing with words?
I have a feeling this is building toward another one of your somatic posts, and I am very much there for it!
You can always lure me in, O Sensei, colour or otherwise!
Me too!
And thank you 😊
I was thinking of 2 things next:
The Colour of Language - a short journey into using colour with
Something Dreadful - an exploration in how to bring a sense of dread in your writing. How you can create or “invoke” fear but with no blood, guts or horror.
I’m open to anyone suggesting a preference!
Both! But I’ll be generous and let you choose the order ;)
The perfect lullaby!!
Thankyou Margaret!
I loved this. It could be slightly edited into a fantastic children's book
