Susan Gentry Poet Free verse

Singers of Blues

Billy Ray Cyrus sings of a state of mind
      Donovan of periwinkle shells
            The Bionaut's of streams aquamarine
      
Paul McCarty rocked about those bells
      Carole King about a royal hue
            Frank Sinatra croons of sapphire skies

Fleetwood Mac has album Cerulean
      Brian Wilson cries of shades of eyes
            Blu Cantrell of cobalt powder
       
Big Moe has lyrics about teal green
       Double Trouble turquoise teardrops
            Jake Bugg beautiful indigo horizons
