Enigmatic Blue Premiere Contest Winner

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.

Wendy, I enjoyed this at the first read, but I came to appreciate it more when I began to understand each line's meaning. Brilliant! I especially love "Without you a celestial promise would be incomplete." Congratulations on your first-place win on Mile 26 of my 2019 Poetry Marathon Contest. Only 1 contest to go before the final! ~Mark

Thank you Heidi. An unexpected surprise!

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.

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.

Thank you, Line. I wonder if readers get the same 'answers' to my riddles as I intended!

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

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!

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.

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!
