Hi there! This is Mackerel coming in with my Colorful Poem entry. The color I chose for this, as you can see, is gainsboro, a light-greyish color. Enjoy!

gainsboro haze

- • -

tick tock

goes the clock on the wall

the birds are chirping

the sun going up

floods of sounds and colors

the world comes to life

except me who is trapped

on the other side of this gainsboro pane

•

clip clop

goes the footsteps on the floor

an echo of laughter

a cry of sorrow

watching through this dull pair of eyes

someone else's colorful world

in the midst of the crowds

there is me who is blinded

sleepwalking in a drunk daze

•

red, yellow, blue, green

even black and white

feels so estranged

all the colors i cannot feel

wishes and dreams

anger and regret

happiness and sadness

are a blurry mess of grey

•

like a prison playing tricks

tempting me to stay

dulling my senses

leaving a dull grey sheet

i can clearly see the colors

of the many shades i wear

but to me they're all the same

as i watch from this alluring gainsboro haze
