Re: The IMPOSSIBLE question!

"The color green is what you feel when you taste mint, or barley, or when you feel a tropical breeze. The color green is the color of intellgence. The color green, is what you think of when you hear trees whistling and rustling in the breeze. The color green, is simply green."

I wrote that in second grade to go with my orange (as in the fruit) poem:

"Oranges, falling from trees,
Like little balls of light, giving insight,
Falling
         Falling
                  Falling
gracefully to the ground below."

Re: The IMPOSSIBLE question!

The grass is green... Probably they have thought of how grass look like...
So they will have thoughts of how green looks like  smile

That is useful, but I don't think will help a blind person understand green.
Here is something:

Green
The cool grass you feel,
between fingers
The kiwi you can taste,
a yummy fruit
Can you smell a spring breeze,
a light green feeling?
Or can you hear,
a deer in the woods, a green sound,
in a green forest
After all,
green is more than a color
it is a feeling of nature.

Are samurai768 and djm111 the only ones besides me who thinks of green as more than just a color? Think about it. You can't describe a color by the way it looks to a blind person. duh. You have to think of other parts to green, like my poem mentioned earlier. Maybe one of you should try that, write a poem. Or you should think with your eyes closed. This is NOT an impossible question!

That was very rude! If you do not agree with my opinion, say it nicely! Even if that comment was not about my opinion, there is still no excuse for that mean thing you said!

What do you mean by "narce"? I'm just saying that "go drink rat poison" isn't really appropriate, don't you think? I hope you can understand that!

That is not funny. I was offended by what you said about rat poison.

I see your point, and I realize, the COLOR of something is a tricky thing to explain. Thanks for your opinion!

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.
