Blue

Blue was the name of my son’s teddy bear
     Blue was so precious, a toy he’d never share

Blue is the sky on a bright cloudless day
     Blue is the ocean where ships sail away

Blue Moon is a song that I still love to hear
     Blue were a well known pop group of yesteryear

Blue signifies an emotion, when you feel upset
     Blue Murder’s a crime drama I’ve not seen yet

Blue as a colour symbolizes loyalty and trust
     Blue is my least favourite shade, I wear it if I must

Blue steak is seared outside but the middle is still red
     Blue movies are sexy where folk romp around in bed!

Duke Beaufort Date: 3/19/2024 10:00:00 AM Jan, you got me thinking about blue. Kind of Blue is also an album by Miles Davis that some consider the greatest jazz album ever recorded. Thanks to the prompt of your poem, I am going to listen to it now. You are so funny Jan. Love the last line that you chose to end with. It puts everything blue to bed for sure.

We're told the house payments were defaulted on and we're waiting to see who moves in next.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 3/18/2024 7:13:00 AM Dear Jan, I love how you explore the multifaceted nature of the color blue with delightful whimsy and charm. From the innocence of a child's toy to the ocean's depths, blue evokes various emotions and associations. I also like your playful juxtaposition of cultural references, and everyday observations, which add depth to this colorful reflection. A delightful journey through the many shades of blue. - Blessings, Daniel Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 3/21/2024 8:09:00 AM Thanks so much for your in depth comment Daniel, much appreciated:-) hugs jan x

Kim Rodrigues Date: 3/17/2024 3:38:00 PM Love this, Jan! A poignant first line! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 3/17/2024 3:41:00 PM Aww Kim it melts my heart to think of my son and 'blue' he was so fond of him we worried in case he got lost so we got a second teddy (soft dolly more than teddy) I would wash one blue and give him the spare, he would look at it quizically as it smelled 'fresh' lol it wasnt until a few years ago we finally came clean there was Blue 1 and 2 lol. i am sure I did a poem about it:-) hugs Jan xx
