Music isn't colored
though it colors the world.
There's blue jazz
and the blues.
Red taiko drums forcefully struck
with tan sticks.
Porcelain white face masks donned,
sparse notes ring out during Noh.
"Black, black everywhere" conjectures only the ignorant
when death metal and rap play.
Is green the color of bodhrán and penny whistle
and céilidh and jig?
And white is not the lone color
of square dancing and contradance.
No, music isn't colored
though it colors the world.
