What is Blue?

So, I have to admit, I am on a Color-Themed Poetry Spree.  This poem is in the same format as my, What Is Gold? poem, and I plan to have a whole rainbow posted pretty soon.  (Yes, I am aware that gold is not in the rainbow, but it could be, and I think it would look pretty good...)

What is Blue?

Written by Janelle Spiers 

Inspired by Mary O'Neill

Blue is a sapphire

Concealed well in a stone

A treasure forgotten

All alone.

Blue is a breaking heart’s moan.

Blue is cold,

A biting wind, sharp and cold.

Blue is a song

Blue is a car,

A lake, a clear sky,

A dying star.

The sound of blue is

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

A death knell rings

A mourning song.

Blue is bliss –

A gentle day,

Without a care

Happy and gay.

Blue are berries

And a pair of jeans,

The banner of rich kings and queens

Blue is a feeling

Bitter and sweet

So melancholy

You feel defeat.

Blue is eye color

And watching the news

Blue is a risk

Win or lose.

Blue is lost

Beauty to be found

A peacock plume

Lying on the ground.

Think of what picnics

And rainbows can’t do

Bright parties, rolling waves

If they couldn’t glow bright with

Blue…
