Blue

How many shades of the title,
aquamarine, azure, cerulean,
naming shades can be vital
some cities that have been
Cambridge, Oxford, Copenhagen,
to name but three
all distinct cannot be mistaken,
steel and teal you must agree,
sapphire, saxe and of course sky
peacock, periwinkle, then there's purse,
loads more, cannot tell a lie,
wedgewood, pewter, I once could converse,
royal, navy, a super pair, 
Prussian, still leaves a few,
ultramarine, petrol often crystal clear,
turquoise, periwinkle my favourite hue!
