Blue

Sky’s blue falls softly meeting a far deeper hue on a craggy crest where my cold blue heart must pass if she should one day beckon. May 14th 2013

Surprised your color for the tanka wasn't red (I jest). There was a nice dreamy quality to this poem... the Japanese poetry forms thrive off of subtlety and you seem to get that as well... fantastic job!
