Notes About The Poem

Human Written on 8/12/2025 for Imagine Yourself as a Color Poetry Contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich 

I Am Blue

When you have stared too long
at that lifeless screen, 
take a hint from the bird song -
abandon the machine.
See me through your window, so serene.

And if you feel alone
gazing at the skies, 
soften up your hard heart of stone -
her soul's window might surprise 
when you see me in her loving eyes.

Congratulations on your "I Am Blue" write. I enjoyed reading your colorful write. I love this pretty color and wear it a lot. It does Not make me feel alone or sad because the sky and water are all blue. Have a very colorful day with your win as you go writing away.........

Yep, blue shouldn't make you feel sad - it's a nice color! Your comment reminds me of the Beatles song, I think it's called "Because"..."because the sky is blue it makes me cry".

Gentle and uplifting—this feels like a breath of fresh air for anyone lost in screens, reminding us of beauty waiting right outside.
