Color Coded country as flag
What is the color of a happy day:
Is it rainbows all the way
... Is it beautiful hues
... all lavenders and blues?

What can be the color of love:
Is it bright like the sunshine above
Is it a fiery red or an icy blue name
... very much like the color of pain?

What is the color of loyalty:
Is it the white interspaced
... with the scarlet bars
and blue with white stars?

Show me the color of lonely
Is it a misty grey...
nondescript like the fog
... floating over the bay?

What is the color of pain:
Is it a red fiery flame
... an icy freezing blue
or a color with no name?

What is the color of blood:
Is it the same color and hue
... in mud... as it is in sand
Does it change with the land?

What is the color of death:
... Is it the last color to request
Black are the colors rolled into one...
the color of silence when life is done?

What is the color of tears:
The same over the years
... clear as warm rain
falling ever and again?

About Author... Faye Sizemore makes her home in the beautiful foothills of South Carolina with Grant, the love of her life, as well as three dogs, two cats, two parakeets and four nanny goats. Grant is a Vietnam Veteran having served with the US Marines in 1968-69 and is, of course, Faye's muse. Faye is deeply interested in Veterans' Affairs and Veterans' Causes. She is very proud of Grant and her poetry is an off-shoot of that pride.
