Blue

scattering ash clouds
i hum your favourite tune
rhapsody in blue
i look out at the calm sea
it seems to blend with the sky

A brilliant Tanka Jack. You made it seem and easy task, but I know a Tanka can be tricky if not thought out carefully. It should place high in this contest. Warm Smiles, Connie
