Best Imaginationblue Poems
This is my humble tribute to
the lovely color known as blue
whether your a blue so bright
or blue that's darker than the night.
I love you in most every shade
that the good Lord ever made
like blue of endless azure sky
or blue that's baked into a pie.
The cobalt on a moonlit night
when the stars are shining bright
swimming in an inky sea
is such a precious sight to me.
Here's to the blue that's on the jay
who chases other birds away
and blue shadows in the snow
as the evening starts to grow.
Then there's the blue that is so light
that you could almost call it white
and baby blue that looks so sweet
as booties on such tiny feet.
So here's to you dear color blue
the only color known as true
a lovely color through and through
this is my humble poem to you.
Inspired by Kristen Reynold's Breathing Color Into January contest
Paintbrush colours blue
indigo to ocean hues
and baby blue tints
cerulean daubs on canvas
next to Prussian blue patches.

for Francine Roberts "Blue" contest
As I sit apon my sill
the rain rises up in vain
the winds howl and shriek
the volume of their pain
as the the heavenly hue
settle in I see the blue rain
risong up towards the heavens
soaking the clouds
that fall one one on my porch
I grab my umbrella
a run through the clouds
rising and falling with each step
allowing this blue wonder
to soak me dry
and wash away sorrow
refreshing me thoroughly
through and through

Night light,
burning in the quiet.
Night light,
stirring in the silence.
My light,
you might be an answer to the shade,
guiding with your rays from far away.
Night light,
flicker as the wind goes by.
Night light,
dimmer by the passing time.
My light,
your luminous shine reminds our hearts,
that there can be light even in dark.
Night light,
glowing to the very last.
Night light,
slowing, you turn to ash.
My light,
I will never forget what you've done,
a million lights now brighter then the sun,
-then the sun,
are spreading out their light to everyone.
Row, row, row with the tide,
over and under, side to side,
sway with the waves and hang on tight,
oh, all in the blue of your eyes.
Row, row, row with the tide,
rush in, rush out, recede, rise,
land in the sand, my my, what a ride,
oh, all in the blue of your eyes.
Row, Row, Row with the tide,
sink or swim everyone must decide,
fish in the sea must flee for their lives,
oh, all in the blue of your eyes.
Row, Row, Row with the tide,
would you befriend me, would you be mine?
We could see our journey unwind,
We could live happily for all time,
oh, everything I need I can find,
-right in the blue of your eyes.
A gypsy queen is dancing
In Aminhotep’s land
Her full blown skirt billows out in the wind
Her tambourine beats time
Held in a strong, slender hand
Sand grains churned by dancing feet
Lie in ecstasy
Unfelt since Rameses had marched
and an ultramarine
Peacock that flew in from Blue River
had settled on his crown
To spread its plumes and shrill into his ear
Unknown names of unseen lands and seas
Of kings to come and start new dynasties
And vanish across a few millennium days
The sheer blue gauze of a deep delinquent haze
Protects the sleeping Pharaoh in his tomb
Dancing daughter to deeply buried kings
Carries a fairytale inside her womb
My eyes are platinum, an abyss
They reflect the midday sky, a blue relic
I blink back molten metal tears
These garments are loose bleeding petals
They hang like rolls of skin, peeling and shedding
Billowing and sagging a Gothic shape
Black and bright this sight of mine
Shimmering like veils of flaming satin
A glazed, mirrory gleam of invisibility
What of these nerve coils?
This case of absolute lambaste
I haven't a qualm of the raven's hallmark
I alight, steadfast and amiable
Blinking my eyes of evanescing quarters
Upon the ghastly faltering rip tide of Atlantis
A trick, a favorable fancy, a visionary swarming with ivory
It knocked me faint with copious screams
A miracle! It would have killed me!
What sort of jungle gutter has exploded over there?
Unstrung jellyfish kissed by acetylene
Fossils of shame, their death was delicate
I am too pure for this me-lieu
The last Victorian league
A grandiose comet trailing innards of ancient origins
Berries rot under the summer's tombstone
Buried under scant reeds, skinny and dusty
Our folk are braced for eelish lichens
Perfectly violent, shopworn and blemished
Til the pique of all furor does daunt and amaze
The gift of something beautiful, luxurious and annihilating
Where is my well-wisher, the paragon saint?
I've been hoodwinked by the moon-eyes sleuth!
Your death, oh gracious! I'll see it burnt and blood-splattered
I'll remember the Albatross of Atlantis
Home of the Arcadian Devil, tongueless and flimsy
A world of blue vol-ted days in a nostalgic geranium universe.
"This poem is not about what is written,but what is not written..."
The sky calls her melancholy
her eyes are always sad,
blue sky turning to gloomy
and lake drying up seeing her.
Her eyes are always sad
a sadness that fills the nature,
and lake drying up seeing her
the sky hiding its blue colour.
A sadness that fills the nature
now standing infront of me,
the sky hiding its blue colour
but I want to make her smile.
Now standing infront of me
her eyes reflect her sad soul,
but I want to make her smile
so I send my mind's butterflies.
Her eyes reflect her sad soul
she needs some rainbow touch,
so I send my mind's butterflies
hope those butterflies do miracle.
She needs some rainbow touch
blue sky turning to gloomy,
hope those butterflies do miracle
the sky calls her melancholy.

Being the color blue is not always sad..
I can cover the city sky with the sun in the middle,
and thats not so bad..
My light shade of blue opens a beautiful spring day..
A darker shade is sprayed with little stars that take
your breath away..
My light shade is the ocean covering your feet..
A darker shade is the moonlight hittng the water
for a warm evening treat..
So my color blue has always gotten a bad rap...
So rest assure I will color it light blue as my sky will cover you as you
lay for a afternoon nap...

Corduroy blue sky
Sprinkles magic dust
In the crystal air
Orange-yellow poppies
Refuse to close their eyes,
While the blue oxen plow
The olive green fields,
East of Eden
I sat up on a cloud today..
I blew on the tree tops to make them sway..
Like wave of paint brushes they colored my sky..
All different shades of blue as the sun passed by..
As the night poured its way, the moon was my light..
Deeper strokes of blue as my cloud was still in sight..
I then feathered my color into the horizon as the stars
where sprinkled in..
My canvas of a blue sky with brush less trees is where
I've been...
