Blue By You

BLUE BY YOU What’s Blue by me? Butterfly wings, the Blue Moth in flight, stilettos, suede shoes, for dancing at night. Moonbows and rainbows, in the spectrum of blue, the eyes of your love, when he’s laughing at you! Purple Lupine, Periwinkle, and Violets can’t be! Forget-me-nots, Bluebells, are true bluer to me. Oceans, rivers, blue lagoons in the day, on a raft or a sailboat, to blue Half Moon Bay. Lapis, sapphires, oyster shells from Cape Cod, Bettas and Dolphins, are deep blue in a pod. Blue Willow, blue Fenton, Blue Delft on their stems, Cobalt blue glasses, for wine with your friends. You’re singing the Blues, when your down in the mouth, your blue in a mood, if your spirits go south. Blueberry muffins, blue cheese, and blue crab, and blueberry buckle, that’ll run up your tab. A Blue Footed Booby, who’s feet look too cold, a Bluebird, and Bluejay, whose terribly bold. Something blue for a wedding, sing alone with this moon, “working blue” in a gig, when a blue moon’s not soon! Blue bloods are said, to be noble within, but the silver in spoons made them blue in their skin. Blue dragons and Smurfs and a painted Blue Boy, stuffed hippos, and Eeyores, are gifts of great joy. We can’t forget, those blue denim jeans, we lay down, to zip up, unless we are lean. Baby and Navy, and Cornflower blue, Steel and Teal, they’re vivid too. Royal with Azure, they share a bright blue, Sky and Powder, are softer in hue, Electric and Space, or a Midnight milieu, these are my colors, now what’s blue by you. -Edlynn Nau ©April 12, 2019
