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.”

Namesake: QUICKSILVER

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!

Hair Color

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

Multi-color hair

Crayola Crayons in a Box

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!)

Light

warm and cool indoor and outdoor light

warm and cool
indoor and outdoor light

snow turns blue-sunrise;
indoor lights burn fireside
candles in windows.

Riddle#20 Fickle Spring

mountain bike in truck in snow

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

Southwest

Etihad 777 flight

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.
