The ABCs of Blues

An apple a day keeps the doctor away
But what if you have the blues
Can an apple save me from heartbreak
Dare mitigate lost love so true
Everyone has a love of laughs
For it is much more fuchsia fun
Going on the heart break path
Harder to enjoy yellow sun
Indigo blues can be beautiful too
Just depends on how you denim deal
Killing the mood with a chord or two
Live music is the magical teal thrill
Memories of joy we can sing
Notes can bring feelings back
Or we can dream of former things
Pink reminiscing of the past
Quiet or loud melodies so proud
Really can elevate a mahogany mood
Sending the crowd into electric shouts
That paints the whole sky neon blue
Under the spell music will gel
Voices and hearts melt the same
We all feel swell and time will tell
X-ray vision displays notes on brain
You can be blue and still choose to make the best of it
Zip in that grin and bear within yet be saved by red kiss.

A beautiful Abecedarian so well crafted. Blues cannot be mitigated by eating apples but by melodies..."Live music is the magical teal thrill Memories of joy we can sing Notes can bring feelings back Or we can dream of former things" A practical way of dealing with blues. All the Best dear Karen.
