Beauty So Rare

A blue so blue appeared in the sky
  purer than the blue of a maiden's eye
Poking a hole through puff-clouds billowy white
  its majesty moving those who prize sight

I wonder if it knows, as I marvel in awe
  at its beauty so rare, no unperceived flaw
Or is its struggle to emerge so all-consuming
  naivete yet untarnished ~ pristine, unassuming

I love the rhyme you created in your comment, Brandy. It's far superior to my poem's 'jingle.' Thank you for your encouragement, and keep smiling! Let Laughter Linger, gw

Smashing, Gershon. Could you send some of that purest blue my way. We’ve got dirty grey today in the UK. Terry

I'll only send you one dab of blue though, Terry. ... If I send two, you'll get the blues. (Groan.) Cheers, Gershon

Almost as if the clouds separate in a curtain call....brilliant imagery Gershon.

I recently saw a sight like the one so elegantly described here, Gershon. It occurred after a storm, and was lovely indeed. This beauty is a fave. :)
