Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

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

Terry Flood October 31, 2021 at 7:18 AM Smashing, Gershon. Could you send some of that purest blue my way. We’ve got dirty grey today in the UK. Terry Gershon Wolf October 31, 2021 at 12:38 PM I'll only send you one dab of blue though, Terry. ... If I send two, you'll get the blues. (Groan.) Cheers, Gershon

John Lawless October 31, 2021 at 6:11 AM Almost as if the clouds separate in a curtain call....brilliant imagery Gershon.
