Wendy Watson Poet Free verse

Enigmatic Blue

Your essence pervades the depths unto the heights
And sprinkles spring gardens with posies of remembrance.
You grace the robes of the humble Virgin
Yet fan majestic strutting pride.
Without you a celestial promise would be incomplete
And how you love to turn up unexpectedly;
Startling star amidst golden corn, 
Mesmerizing monarch of shallow streams.
Our feelings are tinted by you
And you colour the windows of the soul.
You course through veins of noble birth
And daub the beggar's frozen skin.
You are faithful and loyal, all-embracing, enigmatic blue.

Heidi Sands January 11, 2019 at 4:39 PM Congratulations for your win Wendy :) Wendy Watson January 11, 2019 at 4:44 PM Thank you Heidi. An unexpected surprise!

Craig Cornish January 11, 2019 at 4:20 PM Wendy, thanks for this, exactly where I was hoping you would go with the muse - somewhere unpredictable--there is something under/between this beyond different exceptions of blue or bluish. I also have some Welsh roots but mostly Plymouth County roots and I also was at first restricted by rhythm and rhyme but on occasion, when you get that 'A one & a two &" out of the mind, you're free to write as you have done so well here--it is your free poetic mind that is your gift. Craig Cornish January 11, 2019 at 8:16 PM Ahha! Makes perfect sense now not that it needed to--wow! Wendy Watson January 11, 2019 at 4:44 PM This was a very special win for reasons you've established above. Thank you for appreciating the enigmatic flavour and for such encouraging comments. I trust you caught sight of the kingfisher en route!?

Jan Allison January 11, 2019 at 3:40 PM definitely an enigmatic tribute Wendy, many congrats on your win:-) hugs Jan xx Wendy Watson January 11, 2019 at 4:41 PM Thank you,Jan. Not a patch on the lyricism and originality of the first three but I'm very happy that Craig saw something to appreciate in it.

Line Gauthier January 11, 2019 at 3:30 PM A most graceful and beautiful tribute, Wendy. Congrats on your win. Wendy Watson January 11, 2019 at 3:43 PM Thank you, Line. I wonder if readers get the same 'answers' to my riddles as I intended!

Carolyn Devonshire January 11, 2019 at 2:29 PM Gosh, this is really well-penned, Wendy. I like the way you cover so many aspects of "blue." Congratulations on your win in Craig's contest. Best wishes, Carolyn Wendy Watson January 11, 2019 at 3:33 PM Thank you so much,Carolyn. This was a pleasant surprise as I am not that good or experienced in the area of free verse as rhythm and rhyme is in my blood!

Caren Krutsinger January 6, 2019 at 3:37 PM I was toying with entering this contest. I know I could not top this one at all, or even come near enough to touch its hem, but I might be able to get last place now. Wendy Watson January 6, 2019 at 3:57 PM That's kind of you Caren though I'm unsure how Craig will react to my riddles! Free verse is definitely not my forté but sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone. You do far greater justice to this genre than you think!
