About This Poem

The Blue Hour

The sun sets into the gloaming horizon Trailing goodbye kisses into a blushing pink sky Giving the still sleeping moon a little nudge Selene tipsy from a downpour That the clouds had showered on her She had tried to hide behind their cumulus curtain But they sailed right over her and doused her She realized she had swallowed some of that Transparent stuff that they seemed to have dispensed freely. Feeling eclipsed, bleary eyed and blue, a hangover crescenting... Venus strides in sparkling in her sequined finery Decked up for the night...the stars flock around her, In a playful mood, celebrating the night Shooting their mouths off, whizzing off like fireflies Into mortal realm, a sudden wind careens crazily Into the trees below, swaying branches open their Arms towards the sky, wind whispering wishful Thoughts suspended in the air As twilight deepens into night..wrapping earth In a velvety dark blanket A white faced moon peers down gently..

    So strange ... and a little funny. - I thought of a poem even today with the same title. - Now that we have frost and snow - we really have a blue hour after the sun has gone down. - I thought the "blue hour" was a bit "Norwegian" or belonged to colder regions. - But it's different "blue hour" and I like yours Yasmin. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
