If pain had a color
what color would it be.
She told me pain is blue.
Yet…
Everything I’ve ever
loved is blue.
The sky.
The sea.
The quiet moods in me.
All thought in shades
and tranquil hues
of blue.
But insistant
she cried out loud.
As high
as the storm and gathering
clouds.
“Bren, I know what colour
pain is, and it’s
Blue.”

Its deep like blue, loved the poem. Made me connect blue with pain.
I can see blue – especially the ice cold aspect of pain.
Wonderfully creative poem. I really like the two perspectives you have here. Also lovely picture to go with it.
I like this very much, hmm… and there are people who seem to like pain – perhaps because it makes them feel alive?
I LOVE THIS!! yum! 🙂
Beautifully written and your image is awesome.
The conversational tone, the pondering note here was intriguing. “Everything I’ve ever loved is blue”. Nicely done.
I really enjoyed the conversational feeling throughout and the feeling of permeating blue. Beautiful take DayDreamertoo.
Hey you!!!!! good to see you. this gave me some chills. The concept is clever and the dialogue part is killer. It read so smoothly and you know what I think she’s right….the color of pain might be blue. Wonderful writing.
I guess the color of pain depends upon your perspective.
Very well said. I love your conversational style.

This is just beautiful – the voice is gently insistent and the lines are full of cadence. Lovely poetry.

Good blue write.
I love blue, too. This would work well over at Imaginary Garden’s Perspective prompt!
maybe for me it would be red…the burning… i also connect lots of good things with blue…soothing things…the blues.. but maybe it can also change, depending on how we feel that day..
blue would def be its hue, or something bright and brilliant to make me close my eyes…but yes, soulful feel to this bren…
Impressive. I find this association – colour with emotion or other intangibles – quite difficult to go along with, but i had no difficulty with your poem. It convinced me completely.
Funny how people can have such different impressions of the same thing. To me, blue is serene.
Well one does have the blues, so I guess blue does kind of go with pain or maybe it’s red as you get angry and pop a vein. That surely bring pain..haha
Wow, Bren, I am awed by this poem. Everything you love is blue, yet she said pain is blue. I guess the message must be that you must embrace the pain. I guess we all have to at some point. If I were asked the color of pain, orange or red would come to mind. But she had her own perspective… Thanks for taking part in Poetry Jam.
Enchanting read and so true!
I love all the blues you mentioned
Wonderful to read, you touched on soulful blues I love.
Email me, than I ll share my pondering thoughts.

Oh this is so moving – the things you love – including her – and her insistance that pain is blue. So sad. And yet, with the mention of the sky and the sea, and the quiet in you, so all-encompassing. Life. Beautiful one, Bren. One of my faves!
a contemplative piece
hard to know blue is so peaceful
I know there are people who think in color I wonder…
Blue is my favorite color too … I never connected it with pain, reading your poem gives me reason to consider the possibility. After all, bruises are blue at one point.
