Ah my dear sweet blue

Always a misunderstood hue

Blue is the color of vastness

Associated with sadness

But also calmness, relaxation

Of cyan and magenta you are an annexation

Oceanic, titanic.. in roaring waves you thrum

In the sky you become of all the sum

We sing of a Blue Bayou

Beneath Blue Kentucky Moon

But I am happy to fly off into that wild blue yonder

Infusing my soul with a wild blue wonder

So long as you shower me with Forget Me Nots

My blue soul will never be tied in knots

    Warmth and forget-me-nots are spinning in my head. I love the rhyme and sentiments in your poem. Quite lovely it is.

    Wow, every line of this was poetic bliss! I was hooked straight away. It's hard to choose but I think my favourite line is 'So long as you shower me with Forget Me Nots'. That's just a gorgeous sentiment and imagery. But the ending was also really impactful. Thank you for taking part!
