That’s why it is so critical to gain a thorough understanding of the three main characteristics of each color: value, chroma, and hue.

He Kissed My Eyes-bringing Me The Sound Of Rainbows

January 26th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Arts and Entertainment

I must fly! I said.
I want to!
I want to put my fingers around Saturn.
I want to spin and hear a whiz
around my ears and head
I want to charm it like a serpent.

Teach me how I said.
Let me know the wind and all its power.
I want to know it like my dreams describe.

You leaned forward
and kissed my eyes
put your hands behind my ears
bringing me the sound of rainbows.

Give me flowers I said.
There are a million colors to be had.
You pointed toward a unicorn
ready for my adventure
and gave me a map that led to fields of them.
