Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

When the Blues Are Fun

*Image of Kaleidoscope In Blue by Giphy. When The Blues Are Fun You consume the whole of me constantly, Fair drafts ensure flight of our loyal tryst, Though all known plans bear out uncertainty, Our center grants said goals to be unmissed. A misty vineyard drips of subtle dew, And swells our noble chalice soberly, Till such, we seal all promises won true, Our profuse veins sip fortuitously. Heaven embraces what Earth put apart, Relished values carried by moral wings, Sound valor our cultures nobly impart, Adopted rivalries temptation brings. Glorious when the twain of us was one, Our intrepid tales, nonetheless, homespun. 2019 November 28 *1st Place* A BRIAN STRAND FORMAL ~~Brian Strand: Judged 2022 March 12 *3rd Place* 2019 best sonnet ~~John Hamilton: Judged 2019 December 16 *3rd Place* Best Friend Sonnet ~~Regina McIntosh: Judged 2019 December 22
