Blue

Oxygen like Love
Often taken for granted
Lack one of the two
Face the harsh reality
You will soon be turning blue

Hey Joe! Adding a tint of humour gives this even more colour depth. Congratulations again, on this piece that I hadn't seen. Must mean that I should take more time reviewing the contests. You rock, Joe!! Love, Mikki

Way to go, Joe. I thought I had commented on this one earlier, but apparently not. Congratulations on your win in Francine's contest.

Wow! This is really impressive. This comparison seems so simple; but there are so many complexities when it comes to love oxygen. We definitely need both to live and breathe. Congratulations on your win!

I could detect a nice humor in the write with beautiful use of the word blue, Joe

Strong analogy penned here with such a clear message and thought... Best of luck to you in the contest...Michael

Carolyn Devonshire

What a great analogy, Joe. Oxygen is not in short supply, but when we live without love, we are certainly "turning blue." One of the best entries I've read for the contest and I'm hoping to see your poem in the winners' circle. Love, Carolyn
