My Lovely Blue
Today my teacher asked me to imagine colours,
So i tried imagining,
Hues of green, orange, blue. . .
Oops a little bit of grey and then of course black,
Then shades of white, later red and then shallow yellow,
Purple, violet and stable brown.
Is that blue comin again? And then white and then red?
I did not like white and red,
But blue was lovely. . .
I kept imagining blue for a while longer,
And then for a little while longer and then forever. . .
'Now try taking it out of you' says my teacher,
What?! How can i?
And miss said i have to. . .
And i told her alright,
So i erased blue,
but it remained indelible,
It won't budge,
Its stubborn,
Blue does not look on red blood.
Atleast the colour combination is bad but it just won't budge,
I liked that nature, never yielding, stubborn, adamant,
That's me, i saw in blue, myself,
So i cherished it in me though miss said take it out.
I still have blue, i will imagine it forever. . .
