Laura Leiser Poet Free verse

Blue

BLUE dances in sultry, slow motion
wooing her lover with piercing, azure eyes
draped in sparkling sapphires that
hang loosely around her blue blood neck. 

She sways like a lusty sea breeze 
wafting over a crystalline sky
with a cool demeanor that belies
her waves of passion and intensity.

Now, BLUE lifts her serene head
aloof, like an elegant blue heron
stunning in her brilliant, cobalt dress 
luxurious long hair flowing behind her. 

BLUE urges her lover to come fly away
mesmerizing him with whispering words
wrapping him in cerulean silken ribbons
seamlessly sealing him forever in her debt.

Craig Cornish January 12, 2019 at 1:47 PM Laura, your poems have usually done very well in my contests and this moved into the second round along with 17 others because of your originality of theme and flow but didn't move to winners because you slipped back to inside the box with originality with my feel of how you dealt with other versions of blue especially which put it back in the box you had almost escaped -azure/sapphires/blue blood/sea/blue heron/cobalt/cerulean. If you had found a way to dodge those more creatively, you'd do it. Laura Leiser January 12, 2019 at 2:00 PM Thanks for the explanation, Craig..thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to explain. :)

Gershon Wolf January 7, 2019 at 6:18 PM If this isn't a winner, I don't know what is. What a sensually enticing 'woo in blue' you've penned, Laura. Blue-ti-ful! Best wishes, Gershon Laura Leiser January 11, 2019 at 4:04 PM Well, Gershon, I guess this poem was not the sponsor’s “cup of tea”...glad you thought it was good, anyway.. Laura Leiser January 7, 2019 at 7:09 PM Thanks, Gershon! I tried to think outside the box...hope Craig likes it! :)
