I see. But still, wouldn't imagining that 'the curtain was blue' was a symbol of depression by some people be a better fit in a poem? If I'm writing, say, a story about two characters each of which represent an unstoppable force and an immoveable object and they are fighting nearby a house with blue curtains and the symbol of unstoppable force sends the symbol of immoveable force into the house thereby destroying the curtain, why would anyone imagine that the curtains were a symbol of depression?

Why would you mention that the curtain was blue if it has no meaning? Even if you don't have anything in mind, surely there was something that made you decide to choose a blue curtain. And sure, that something could just be that the last curtain you saw was blue, but you could also be subconsciously choosing a color that fit with the mood you desired.
