Blue Takes a Bow
Blue takes a bow in winter:
reflects the sky in snow below;
blue sings her frigid song
Jim Harrison said: “Life is sentimental. Why should I be cold and hard about it? That’s the main content. The biggest thing in people’s lives is their loves and dreams and visions, you know.”

quicksilver, the super hero keeping company with the Avengers
apparently, it’s very hard to animate silver as it flashes by.
It looks frozen, blue, cold, and actually, translates as mercury,
as in, flairs up and then plummets back with lightning speed!

Jan Hutchinson has been delighting us with daily prompts for Poetry Month. Today’s poem should sound like a child wrote it.


Crayola Crayons in a Box
“Your hair is red,
Your hair is black;
I see it now as blue.
Soon we’re back
To brown and then
Your hair is green:”
Crayons in Crayola Box!
Hair color fit for Queen!
( I scrutinize the roots for a mirror clue;
But find none, save: imagination!)

equinox:
snow in Austerlitz:
blue flakes laugh at crocus shoots, blue
with cold, not dew; fickle Spring, fickle earth, fickle moon.

Southwest, orange, red and blue
breaks the sound barrier of my ears.
Sings and jokes; stretches, bends
small details ’til they’re snug; no fears!
Breaks the sound barrier of my ears:
flies above 30,000 feet of clouds:
hums its path ‘bove westward planes below.
Sings and jokes; stretches, bends
in cabin’s curves: accommodate each soul:
infants, old, and broken boned.
Small details ’til they’re snug: no fears!
the weather’s fair; the night sky drops its skirts
on sleepy tired folks who land and find their rest.
