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. :)

Lovely Gershon, those of us who are lucky to have the gift of eyesight would agree the sky of blue is a wondrous delight… Belle
