The Color Blue

I have a passion for the blue color Dark blues like the deepest oceans Or light ones as the brightest skies Navy blues bring out the poet in me And I meditate using a Lapis Lazuli My protection spell is a teal circle of fire And of course my wedding ring has a Sapphire But that’s not all, mind you I love my denim jeans of indigo blue I just have to buy anything blue I see From a peacock phone To a cobalt TV You can call me crazy Or really eccentric Since my car is a shiny blue electric I still want to paint my hair With all shades of blue But I have to convince hubby first To not put me in a straitjacket… …UNLESS IT’S BLUE… *** January 26, 2017 1st place in the Contest: The Color Blue Sponsor: Janis Thompson
