Feeling Blue
Feeling Blue Turquoise sea and azure sky Shades of nature's blue Navy clouds as the sun sinks low and night brings its hue Cornflowers and Peacocks Kingfishers too Blueberries and blue corn Hyacinth Macaws Hydrangeas kissed with dew Blue moon in the sky We both see the same view Across the miles Blue is my mood because I cannot see you Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Sarah is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us to write a poem about "Blue". Blue is my favorite color! I wrote this poem in 2019 in response to a similar prompt from OctPoWriMo. I hope you like it. Image by PublicDomainPictures from Pixabay

Thanks David! ☺️
I can identify with the feeling of blues here, so strongly evoked through your words. The sea both separates and connects us!
Thank you Ingrid ☺️ “The sea both separates and connects us” That’s the start of a poem right there!
Oh yes, I’ll have to note it down… 😅
Blue is truly a poet’s colour, the sound of the word, and its many rhymes. I love how you’ve captured so many different shades, Christine, especially the ‘navy clouds as the sun sinks low’ and the ‘hydrangeas kissed with dew’.
Thank you Kim ☺️ I appreciate it so much. I’m happy you liked “my blues”
Blue as the mood and you have captured many blues.
Thanks Trudessa 💙💙💙
blue is the just right color for that mood isn’t it.
It sure is Lisa ☺️ 💙
A lovely poem Christine

You’re welcome my friend
Blue is the color of poet dreams. It’s uses are endless. This was lovely to read.
Yes, isn’t that true Bev! Thank you so much 😊💕
“Navy clouds
as the sun sinks low
and night brings its hue” YES YES YES! The perfect description for what I see sometimes in Provincetown, on the tip of Cape Cod, as the night sky takes over. I’ve never thought of calling them navy….but YES!
I enjoyed this very much.
Oh Lillian thanks so much ☺️ Yes they are indeed Navy. I live on the coast too so maybe that’s why. I’m happy you enjoyed it.
