Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

For the Imagine yourself as a Color 
Poetry Contest, Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

I am Turquoise

I am forever roaming, turquoise,
Thrashing, with a roaring noise.

I'm often kissed by sunset's lips,
Red in passing, on endless trips.

Reflected in my sparkling deeps,
The sky I once was, often peeps.

I'm foliage and flowers and birds.
I am so much, but I'm also earth!

Lately, I'm more blue than green.
Save the planet! Keep it all clean!

Terry Griffiths February 28, 2026 at 12:49 PM Very interesting descriptions around and attributes of the colour turquoise! The ending that plays around with green being good for the environment and turquoise having less green in it due to climate change is very clever. Evelyn Judy Buehler February 28, 2026 at 8:59 PM Thank you for your gracious words, Terry. I'm so delighted you enjoyed this. Best of wishes. :)
