Sidey’s Weekend Theme, 22.07.2011: What if?
http://viewfromtheside.wordpress.com/2011/07/22/weekend-theme-31/
What if…
What if the sky was green
And the grass was blue
What if you loved me
And I loved you
What if the clouds were brown
And the sea was pink
What if I would own
Just what I think
What if I could see
What if you could tell
Is it Fate putting us
Through this earthly hell
What if we went back
To where we were
What if we never met
And we were pure
We can’t blame Fate
For our dilemma
The choice was ours
To live with forever
Nothing’s too hard
For Him to forgive
It’s for us to decide
How we want to live

It came to me as a sort of sing-song, nursery rhyme, Bb. 😉

What a wonderfully human poem, Denise. I loved it.
I think there is one of my poems which will complement it, called “Kyrie Eleison”
(Lord have mercy)

What if the sky was green
And the grass was blue…
is a beautiful dilemma, and perhaps would end up in a Shakespearean answer that— call by any name, a rose smells as sweet.
I wish you had continued such pairs before the message came through.
Good poem Denise.

Thanks, Sunamu. I often wonder if we do, in fact, see the same colours as each other. I may see what you call red and I call it blue and vice versa. Too complicated to explain clearly…, but very interesting nonetheless.

Wonderful “what ifs” Denise!

I hope that if the sea is pink it is going to smell and taste like strawberry milkshake. 🙂

I think you should do a poem about tastes, haha! If it tasted like strawberry milkshake I wonder if we would all drink it dry? 😉

‘What if we went back to where we were…’ that is something I think of occasionally during my down moments. This is a very poignant poem. I like it a lot!

I don’t think I would like to go back, Selma; too much heartache in the past.
