Notes About The Poem

I like a challenge and on this rainy day thought I would give it a go. love the color's of nature as presented every day. 

Blue Days

BLUE DAYS

….
A raw blue sapphire, cut to enhance the yellow spectrum
The sounds of trouble in the pink saloon down town
The scent of red roses wafted down the path to the mess
No sweets tonight, I can’t handle the taste of green jelly
Dark skies above feels like the black clouds are about to burst

Raw, yellow, sounds, pink, scent, red, taste, green, feels, black
 
Raw yellow cake from Rum Jungle
The sound of running water colored pink from acid
The smell so bad turns your face red from fumes
And the taste of the green oxide lingers in the air
Feels like things are not right with the mine in the eerie black ness
Tomorrow will be fine as the day unfolds with a cloudless sky, just another blue day

A belated thank-you Suz. We are experiencing a severe drought in Tasmania and 2016 is looking like a tough year for humans and animals, we still have fires burning in Febuary 2016 and very dry conditions and not much feed. Cheers Kev
