Blue Shoes

I am so, so blue...
for I lost a love with you,

I walk by myself
down the long stretches of life
wondering, "What did I do!"

Just one of the many ways we become blue through relationships. Congratulations on getting a win with writing your tanka with a "blue" beginning, middle and end.

Great tanka, George, it seems these "long stretches" are lasting a lifetime for me. Francine posted a blog and the title has to be "blue." You also need to add your name at the bottom below the name of the contest. Her blog says these rules must be followed for poems to be considered and I wouldn't want you to miss out on winning!
