The Bluest of Blue

They say you are blue when you are depressed; what sort of blue is a depressed blue? I’ve played so many bluesy Blues yet, they only make me happy; I call them bright blues. Blues of rainbow hues swirling, curling, twirling in my head; it’s my favorite color so, how can I be depressed when I am blue? Instead I find that my blue is fantasy neon with shades of creature blue hues. Blue unicorns fed my imagination as a child; a pre-teen carnival of blues ran the gamut of tear-to-elation, sapphire dreams. Often I would build my bluest schemes of turquoise and ultramarine. I found that as an adult, I can’t go wrong with royal blue velvet; such smoothly soft, ooze blue. In my downtime, I like to vacation in the blue tranquility, of an aqua blue sea and that’s where I find my perfect, harmonic blue bliss. No, I do not believe that depression is...blue, it is undoubtedly, gray.

this is fantastic, ML. Blue is one of my favorite colors. I think it's a tossup between this one and lavender . Also I love sunny yellow and ruby red! Love how you ended with gray. now THAT is real depression.

I think that it's a very popular color. When I go to buy anything blue it seems most stores are out of that color. I used to have a completely blue wardrobe until someone brought it to my attention, I had not realized that. Glad you stopped by to read and comment, thanks.

Your bluesy blue poem with blue unicorns made me feel happy and I agree. There are so many beautiful blue things. Let's replace "being blue" with "being gray". Obviously gray is not the color we want, almost ever. That is why hair die was invented.
