Blue To You Too Contest

Blue, The Origin of Infinity. Primarily visible in the vastness of the heavens and the breadth of the seas, why is it seldom used by nature? Perhaps that's why, in a more fundamental way, it's used to describe emotions more than any other color. Or is it just because its pigment was spent for greater purpose? Just the thought of it makes me blue, confused, cold, distant, dismal, dreary, depressed, addled and distant. It's enough to make my head go "ca-bluey". What blue-beard brought this subject up anyway?

I didn't get round to posting my poem but i had written mine on a similar theme - I think blue is one of my least favourite colours it can be very cold and an deeply emotional colour:-( good luck in the contest:-) hugs jan xx

Maybe a little unorthodox, but fun. As well as you write, you should try a few. Good exercise. Thanks, Charlie

Written a bit tongue in cheek,for fun but as I wrote I have to admit it got me to thinking a little deeper. Thanks for the note. Charlie

Interesting take on the color blue but I think nature uses it quite a bit due to all the oceans and seas along with the sky, rain, lakes and streams...but you are spot on blue used the most emotionally for sadness and such...Anyways good piece for it made me also think!
