On purple days I feel serene
like a faint whisper
in the forest
saying calm
on a cool calm spring day

It was an assignment for school we had to write a simile. I was thinking of my name.

Musicispassion,

Whether you intended it or not, your use of synestesia really makes this poem stand out. I not only love the categoriazation of a day by color, but then comparing it to a sound makes "Purple Days" very easy to identify with. Just by reading this poem, I figured out that today was a purple day. Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Finchy

I like this one. It's more simple than the Yellow poem, but I love the reoccuring cat theme I'm picking up. :)

This was a great, simple poem. I especially love the picture you chose to go along with it! :) Cats are definitely serene.

Once again short, simple and a great image. You have such a unique way of describing things, it's really interesting and it's what makes your poetry stand out and mean something. I really like it :)
