Blue

My colour is that of a summer sky
With a few fluffy clouds just floating by.

The lake lays blue below the mountain still;
Much peace and calmness these waters instil.
From this shore a Bluebird was launched and flew
At breathtaking speed across the surface, blue.

In popular culture I’d sing the blues
If you dare to tread on my blue suede shoes.

At Easter–time a rivalry plays out
Upon the Thames in long and narrow boat,
A race ’tween college Blues, nine men afloat
With straining oars : neck and neck, or a rout ?

So, once in a blue moon, out of the blue,
There are so many blues of many’a hue.
