Colors (Poem by Mark Borne)

Red for blood,
Black for pain,
Gray for shame,
Orange for fire;
Brown for earth,
Gold for riches,
Purple for royalty,
Blue for peace;
Yellow for brightness,
White for purity,
Green for life,
Pink for love.

  1. I love this! I matched it up with my book character's personalities and back stories and it's perfect! Great visual imagery. :)

    1. Lol Thanks! I was feeling uninspired and just wrote colors plus the adjectives/nouns I associate with them. Sort of. I mean, blue I associate with oceans, not peace, but I worked as close to adjectives as I could, and I associate oceans with peace, so...lol

    2. It's amazing though. The ocean is peaceful.

    3. *Sighs* ah, the blue-ringed octopus. So peaceful, so poisonous. ;)

    4. ...maybe it's peaceful because it kills before the peace is disrupted? :/

    5. true. but when disturbed, it becomes black (pain) feels like orange (fire) and then you loose your green (life). XD

    6. It all happens to you especially despite the fact that you pink (love) dangerous creatures that will kill you instantly lol

    7. SO TRUE! Then, you'll be buried in brown (earth).

    8. By then you'll have lost all your red (blood)

    9. Then at last things'll be restored to blue (peace)

    10. You can't feel blue (peace) if you feel gray (shame)

    11. You can't feel grey (shame) if you're dead.

    14. Yep, I also read the note you attached, and it talks about CREATIVE LIBERTIES :)

    15. The creative liberties were actually used on my last words, not the death.

  2. Ooh, I love this. I love how each color is connected to a theme. That’s so cool and when it gets to pink, well everyone knows what pink is about. I love how it wraps up like that. Amazing work!

    1. Pink can mean a lot of things, depending on the personality; when I was, like, 7, my favorite color was pink because I associated it with youth
      But thanks, I appreciate it :D

Would You Rather...? (#1)

These "Would You Rathers" are small, but they're meant to start debates. Debates, not arguments! Anyways, here's the first one: "In a mystery novel, would you rather have a friend by your side helping you while risking his/her own life... ...or would you rather have your friend safe at home counting on you to solve the mystery and come out safely?"

Q/A With Shaly

This was bound to happen, like so much that the one that is probably next is I don't know... The Poet of Steel or Spitfire or Lady Knight, or just some other crazy. Plus, you guys know the drill. Mark's Addition : So...well...yeah, if anyone else wants to do one, let me know. Apparently, this is the thing to do on my blog right now, though I admit, I have no clue why.

Nexus Mad Libs

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per
