Notes About The Poem

Tanka poem in rhyme form for variety.  I use the term blue sky in iits descriptive sense.        
An actual blue sky  which is poetic.  Blue sky can mean impractical. 

Unleash The Pen

Sleek ode bard might nurse,
apt term in hue laden verse,
paint scenes with star phrase,
blue sky ink splash set ablaze,
flaunt  that quill, arise, amaze
