Lime is your broken ankle from your bright lime high heels.
Pink feels like candy floss that's a long smooth beard.
Green is the luscious lettuce in my salads.
Green sounds like the water dripping into the sink.
White is the colour of a beautiful wedding dress flowing in the wind.
Orange is the colour of the Statue of Liberty's torch.
Orange is the x-box controller.
Blue feels like the Steelblue ladybug crawling on my hand.
Blue sounds like a rushing river flowing by.
Gold is a goldfish swimming in its glimmering pond.
Gold is the flesh of a kiwifruit.
Red is my angry brother.
Red is the tomato in my burger.
Silver is the wolf howling at the moon.
Brown sounds like coconuts dropping to the ground.
Black is a leather jacket you wear when you're riding a motorbike.
Grey is the smooth scales of snakes.
Grey is like a thunder storm erupting the city.
Purple brainwaves.
