Blue Tears

Blue sky so far up The lady with a sad face sit and stare Blue tears slipping down unnoticed

A beautiful poem, Akkina. Blue sky happiness always hides the sad smile behind the cerulean facade. Your short, masterful ink strokes convey deep truths shown in plain sight. Love and smiles always.

gosh, I really love little poems like this one and this is one I have not even seen of yours yet. This one makes me think that you could make it into a free verse poem and personify the woman as the blue lake and a waterfall coming off her are the tears. It was the thought your imagery conjured for me. Have a lovely Xmas eve, Akkina.

Hello Akkina. I'll say blue tears. Emotion and sadness come through to the reader. The saddest part is the unnoticed tears. Well done entirely. Enjoy the night.
