Wow it’s a week into the month. Each day That I write a new poem for this October poetry challenge, Octpowrimo, I find it a struggle at the beginning to get the poem started but then the flow goes. Getting the initial spark is not difficult because there is poetry everywhere when you begin to look for it.
Today’s poem…
…
Blue
How peaceful a color
But also the blues
Pinnochio’s fairy
Elvis’s shoes
…
Is sky or it’s velvet
And crying in the rain
It’s peaceful and tranquil
And bruises and pain
…
How cool in the spectrum
As chill as it goes
But difficult temper
In the bayou throes
…
Oh rescue this color!
Come yellow and red
To majesty and growing things
No! Get Titanium instead
…
It’ll lighten its load
And let its light shine
Like the rarified diamond
That few ever find.
…
