Benevolent Blue

The patriot to white and red,
The shade of eggs in robin's nest,
What blood looks like before it bled,
And heaven's vast summery dress,
The juicy iris in your eyes,
And icy moonlight so serene,
Known by all as the sun doth rise,
And lives within purple and green,
The brilliant paint on newborn's walls,
Life of sea in islands tropic,
A friend to Jay from spring to fall,
And I still don't change the topic,
The brother to red and yellow,
Oh blue, you are quite the fellow!



For the COLOR contest...

Blue isn't my favorite color, but it was definitely fun to write about. So far I've written a poem about every color except for white...

Timothy, for me, reading this sonnet was like tasting a delicious tender steak slowly cooked to perfection on the grill. I loved it, well done my friend. Doug

Wow, thanks Russell! I read Andrea's color entry and thought mine wasn't all that great. Apparently I need a confidence boost... he he. Thanks for reading me today :)
