where stars in their distance patiently await
the night approaches -lingering- in no hurry
all in its time and so it goes
the many shades of blue slip away one at a time
it is the ceremony that sets the evening stage
for the graceful entrance of her majesty the moon

cobalt blue ocean
wave against orange sunset....
midnight's darkness waits

Syllable count as in the contest rules..
cobalt blue clouds hang
barely illuminated..
summer's full moon shines
under the boardwalk
my love kisses tenderly...
rain drips through small cracks
Love the pictures
Thanks for the challenge, P.D

An artist brush strokes
Cobalt Blue clouds 'pon morn's sky
Entwined with sun's shine
Gray Dove's wings whirr lifting them
Above danger into blue

cobalt blue glass cast
reflection 'pon blue skies..
winter blues stays round
Evening snow falls silently
from a cobalt blue sky-
floating, glistening like diamonds
attracting one's eye.
Full moon lights up
snow's free falling way
with not so very many words
for anyone to say.
And so goes the evening
of ice coated weekends
delighting old and young children
and forever dreamy eyed friends.
ocean's cobalt blue
waters whitecap 'on rocky shore..
ocean teams with life
Images now received by satellite
Show spaceships similar to here
In Tunguska, deepest Russia
The largest seems to appear
Near the Kingdom of Scourie, Scotland
From the Minch it slowly arose
The third of them showed so silently
Highlanders agape, froze
Governments now in communication
Media frenzies gather flow
It takes something out of the ordinary
For dialogue to openly show
A hush captures our attention
Channel 5, Australia News
Ayers Rock sees the fourth of these crafts
Indigenous carvings on the screens we now view
More reports are gathering strength
In Guatemala, near Piedras Negras
"Black stones" I believe in Spanish
Is it coincidence that this is the last
The night to the dawn takes ages to pass
Every hour we look to our skies
Have we awoken what we have always dreamt of
Below us, our eyes could never espy
Not from the depths of outer space
But from the deep from the planet we live
Lying dormant, awoken by archaeologists
We await as many nations, misgive

Cobalt Blue aura
Chill quiet relaxation
Instant stress relief
Cloudy cobalt sky
Orangy horizon glows
The sea mirroring
