Blue Quintain-2

What colour is the sea and the sky? For the blue-blooded guy and the blue-eyed boy And everyone else, they are blue, but why? Blue whales are the largest, blue films some enjoy, Soothing the nerves; Blue, the blues, destroy. S.Jagathsimhan Nair, 29th Feb 12

Hey,,,,I certainly missed this one, Jag...do u think blue is over rated?...What I like about this poem is the spectrum of blue it covers..have u ever heard of rhythm and blues music too?...Lovely, friend. Just lovely. Check out an older poem of mine ....Diamonds and Rust-My Dad's Favorite Song...then cut and paste the link below it...there is a rhythm and blues song you should love...most American poets love it too. Hugs and a warm cheerful day! :)

yes, the million shades of blues of a human's mind. this is quite beautifully apt Jag, enjoy very much that 'hanging, trailing' quality you have on the last lines. thank you for welcoming me back on the soup. good luck on the contest.
