Notes About The Poem

Written 22nd September  for a duel that never completed.

The Color Blue

Write a poem inspired by the color blue.

Rules:

Poem must include the word "blue."

Blue’s Meeting

Blue called a meeting at half past two. The moon borrowed a beam for light inside the house. The sea arrived on a horse. Its tail curled up tight. The sky was a writer. It always had a pen. The rain rushed in, his storm coat dripping on the floor. The wave measured its length rushing through the door. The cloud looked like it would burst. It had been eating all day. “The minutes?” Blue asked. The sky had written them. The wind had other ideas.

Thank you CayCay. I tire of reading all the sad and depressed poems so I have to release my smile maker to brighten the day.😃😀

So whimsical and a very creative personification of "blue," Allison! Kids would love this poem. Are you going to write about the other colors. Would make a great children's book. Blessings in soft blues to you and hope the "blues" pass you by!
