Daily Question, November 21

To what color would you love to write an ode? What might it say?

  • Cindy

    I would write an ode to Green. Nature’s color. The color that goes with any other color and helps make our world a more beautiful place.

  • Diane

    An Ode to Green (making this up as I go!)

    Dear green....how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
    I love all that you represent:

    .Chlor0phyll residing in the leaves.
    Gives us oxygen to breathe.

    O evergreen tree, the holidays are near.
    Your lovely scent fills our home with Christmas cheer.

    Farmland and fields where the horses graze
    Their beauty brings joy to my days.

    Going Green is the way to live!
    A gift to our planet....oh humans won't you give?
    Earth needs your loving c...

    I love my colors
    like I love my people
    lush
    vibrant
    full of contrast.
    Some pastel
    others jewel toned
    or electric
    and some the solid worth of browns or grays
    full of with nuance and shading.
    All essential to the Whole,
    we are a color web
    where all are equal
    and all are loved.

  • Antoinette

    Blue and all its nuances make our blue planet home. Blue skies, blue oceans and blue eyes make me smile.
    Blue moon and blue whales make me know we inter-are. Blue is the color of clean clear water connecting and flowing like a river.

    • susan

      Thank you Antoinette for the beautiful blue ode. You are loved.

  • Patito

    Rojo bermellón. Calma, tranquilidad, inspiración

  • Doreen Nixon

    I would write an ode in the colors of the rainbow and it would loudly proclaim Love as the answer to everything for it is what we are! ???? ????

  • Melania

    Green was the first color to come to mind, the natural green of the plants and the forests. Here I am right this very minute, amidst juniper and oak and pine. Even in the twilight of autumn, the evergreens are here blessing me in the morning sunlight.

  • Ose

    I would write an ode to the colors of the rainbow, like you, Carol. It conveys a sense of mystery and awe, and I always feel joy when I see one. To me, it feels like a sign of hope and perspective, given as a free gift by nature to everyone, this heartwarming beauty. Have a good day everyone!

  • Deb

    Burgundy. It is a mixture of red and blue, maybe a tad of gray, green or black. Combination. As far as an ode to it: i’m not a poet and don’t I know it!!

  • Carol

    What came to mind was the colors of a rainbow. Years ago, I was driving in Arizona and I literally drove into a double rainbow. It was awesome. I felt surrounded by color.

  • kathleen

    I think I’d write an ode to white,because it is so bright,and it is what I associate with light. White is limitless and blank: it’s so inclusive, it could be a canvas for my life and put an end to strife. If I can remember white as source ?) of all the colors I can stay the course.

  • Michael

    red is the first color that popped so red u r heat and passion. red I think u bring any pain that I push through into fashion. I believe purple runs through my veins. but, when I give of myself to help others red reigns. I am grateful and thankful for all the colors including red. may today be a day of peace, joy, and positive action…enough said.

  • Ann Kelly

    Ode to purple
    A luscious blend of colours
    Symbol of royalty
    Hue of flowers
    Feminine, soft, vibrant

  • Grace

    Ode to yellow
    Mellow yellow which finds itself
    in the centre of things
    Like the heart of a daisy
    or the inner spiral of a
    frangipani.
    Rich and soft in colour and
    music

  • Kevin

    I’ve got nothing “ode-wise” in my head, the most I’ve done is drag my bones from bed!

    • Ose

      When I read your post, I had to laugh, as today, I had to drag myself from bed as well rather than jumping out full of energy. Thanks for the joy you brought, as it changed my energy and color afterwards from a slight grey to vivid colorful impressions. And a friend just sparkled today, such a gift!

      • Kevin

        Thanks Ose, wishing you a brand new day today of vivid colors! My very best to you.

  • Christina

    The electric colors: the pinks, greens, oranges, yellows. Love ’em; my eye is always drawn to them. Life is hard enough–add a little color, I say!!
