Awash in dreams, my childhood swiftly flew. I looked into her eyes to see if love was true. I gazed into the sky to see if I could see across the heavens to boundless infinity. At once, I saw a vision come into view - life's every answer is in the color blue.

A nice write, David. Strangely, I’ve always thought of my fave colour as being red, yet I have loads of blue t shirts and zero red ones.

When I was a kid, red was my favorite. Hmm, maybe you like blue better than you think, haha, I don't know. I don't really have a favorite color, but blue is nice, especially for skies.

I like your poem. Blue is a steady color with a comforting ambience, much like the flow of your words. It's an excellent write.

Thanks for your kind words, Hilda. I agree, blue, like the sea or the sky, does have a comforting ambiance.
