Daver Austin Poet Nonet

Blue

BLUE

Blue
Black and
Of course!    true
Jilted lady
Sky on a clear day
Subject in review is
When my girl left me I was
How I remember Crater Lake
Little girls wear pink but boys wear
.........................................................

I was so fond of the various entries in the "Blue" contest, just had to write one

Carolyn Devonshire February 12, 2011 at 10:00 AM You have written a witty and wonderful nonet, Daver. Can relate to the "jilted lady," but also to Crater Lake. My father took us there when we traveled cross country. Quite a marvelous site to behold! Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich February 9, 2011 at 7:25 PM Daver, how neat that the Blue contest inspired you. You should try it in that Tanka form! Hey, what happened with last line. I count only 7 syllables instead of 9. (if I am remembering nonet rules correctly). Just curious! Luv ya, Andrea
