Out of the Blue
Sitting on the porch
My mood is blue
Staring at the moon
wondering what to do
You took umbrage
at what was said
now I’m alone
and full of dread
Sentences interrupted
Before I am finished
As you cut me off
My worth diminished
Your dialogue of
liquid adjectives
drenching me
in endless narratives
My brightness of color
Diluted by your fury
Vivid purple now a faded blue
You are my judge and jury
Masked in black
Solemn and severe
Passing sentence
With an expression austere
Our pieces don’t seem
To fit anymore
No matter which way
they scratch and claw
Throw me a bone
is all I ask
Why must you work me
like a task
My mouth feels gagged
I fear to speak
Whatever has happened
I am now so meek
The fight has left me
I want only some peace
Make up or break up
and let this cease

Wow, what an accurate description of interpersonal miss understanding.
Thanks Sadje …. I might be an expert! Lol 🙂

Oh I love this song Ivor. Thanks you! It was from Leonard Cohen’s final album 😢
He was such a beautiful poet. I loved him for years.
Yes it’s a great poem and song. I’ve been a lifelong fan of Leonard Cohen, and he’s the biggest influence of my writings, and his words and music have spiritually helped me survive the toughest of times during my life.
ideas from a book i read: it takes a long campaign to bend steel. i like the way you incorporated color into this!
I like that statement! It sure does. I already had the word blue in the poem before I saw today’s prompt of color. Lucky I think 🤔
