    The language of color (part two)

Color stems from the primary shades
And there are three, blue, red and yellow.
Each have meaning in some sort of way
And each shout out a different hello.

Dark blue is the color of confusion.
Red is the color of dangers lair.
Yellow symbols the bright and delight.
Add them to line and your half way there.

The next step is mass and direction.
How much of each is used and just where.
Each one offers different inflection
You sum these up to a simple declare.

Of course there are shades and variations
And they all speak out like a filigree
But the basic is there for summation
Your mind will up with a chosen degree.

It was and is the first language began
And to this day the first language of man.

no shades of gray...
nothing is ever just black or white

YOU ROCK when you write  

Ya know what Sy-guy ..

that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Seymore....

     I love the way you combined the 2 parts, line and color. If I'd had teachers
back in school who could word things like
you do, I would have done better!!!!!!!!!

         This is wonderful.........
            (glad I made it to class!!!)


Your words become music to my soul......

AHA! I was right! You are reading the palms of Africans, Indians, Japanese and very cold eskimos!

These are two excellent pieces of work, Sy. Not only are you a man OF class, you teach it.
