La Evasion De La Oiseau Bleu
"L'évasion L'oiseau Blue"
An exodus of dreams
like a flock of beating wings
melt upwards into endless sky
there the unreachable,
the bluest blue
of dreams so high
fleeting upwards ever upwards
the call below pulls in its nets
the fleeing mind and breath
washes back in, listen -
the ceaseless
cajoling...

Le Cirque Bleu by Marc ChagallLe Cirque Bleu
The spotlight is aglow through the gloam
The light an indigo ink modifying color
She swings her body with agility thrusting backwards
upside down, with unseen wings,
an acrobat aerials amid the roar
She looks pretty with her fan in one hand,
long tresses flowing loosely ...

Bleu--A Pit Bull PuppyBleu, Bleu, who are you?
Pit Bull so young
Where did you come from?
Our Blue-nose American Pit Bull.
Bleu, Bleu, who are You?
Happy and hungry, tail always waving,
Only wants love and a pat,
Our beautiful, Blue nose Pit.
Bleu, Bleu, who are you?
Growing so big, eats like a pig,
Running all...

le livre bleu
“le livre bleu”
Terabytes.
lonely poets, writers,
musicians and artists play here,
they wear masks that cover
vermillion dripping smiles
over sharp little wolverine teeth,
they drown their sorrows in their muses -
contemporary little monsters – Still Life,
they call it “art”,
smiles;
gothic invested, they adore
the overzealous use of the...

Le Cordon Bleu
1 part passion
1 part truth
1 part lies
No, that can’t be.
Is it 2 parts truth and no lies?
Yeah right! This isn’t a fairy tale.
Maybe it’s snips and snails-
Wait that’s little boys.
Walks on...

Swans of Bleu PondThe Swans of Bleu Pond
We loved there in Vienna one spring day
as boating on the mirror of Bleu Pond
we thought true love had surely come our way
though time for love for us had scarcely dawned;
your ruby smile was such a joy to see
and won...

Leanna Bleucan you come out to play
barefoot running
on the warm Atlantic sand
surf curling around our ankles
dancing its way up to our knees
look over there
it's a couple of kids
building castles in the sand
over there is a couple holding hands
gazing at the beautiful sunlit waves
did you see that...

I Am BleuWhen it’s quiet my heart aches for Bleu
My husky companion so fluffy and true
His absence has taken a grievous toll
His spirit left a pawprint on my soul
Each time the wind howls I miss him anew

Solis Bleu Creeks and StreamsI LOVE THE WAY
IT SOUNDS STRANGE
YET WHAT BETTER WAY TO EXPLAIN
NOTHINGS CHANGED
IT'S STILL THE SAME
AND THE WAYS OF NIGHT
ARE BORING
A FROG CROSSED THE CREEK
THE OTHER SIDE IT SEEKS
THE FLIES AND GNATS
ARE IGNORING HIM
HE STICKS HIS TOUNGE TO EAT
A MEAL HE SEEKS
TO DINE ON...

Le Grand Bleu+the knot does not untie from within but frays at the edges, a thread pulled loose by unseen hands+
—we do not walk in bodies—we drift in thought, for there is no world but the one the mind dreams—

Prussian BlueCooler than Arctic ice
Yet, you warm the palette of my life
With your nearly bluebell shades
Layers of sifted sky
Diluted into the tender grey clouds
That slowly dance
Towards tears of rain
How my heart longs to know you
As my life brushes past
Your pure selfless pouring out
Unaware, you...

Discussed wine pairing with patrons aglow
"What does your order include?"
"Roast turducken frankenfood"
"Then I recommend a dry Portmanteau!"
