Alphabe-thursday--SUMMER RAINBOW SCHOOL

This week we highlight BLUE over at Jenny's Place




I am Blue

I am Blue
Much of the time these days
too many days, too much negatives.
A lot of the time you can actually catch me Cyan
Sadly, I am Cyan a lot.
Even my Iris will giveaway my feelings.

I throw my self down on the Persian
sometimes feeling so guilty
knowing full well that I,
used to be the Steel in this family.
I cry out Indigo, Indigo...Go!!
Leave me in my Cerulean plane, safety zone.

I Baby Blue myself into getting dressed, 
and face the day.
As I slip into Denim and a Dodger Tee shirt
I realize that no one,
No one from Yale, the Navy, Air Force 
or even the Federal Government
Give a shit, how I am feeling
nor can they do anything about it.
I Periwinkle at myself in the mirror
and decide a trip to Tiffany for a Sapphire is in order.

For a while I will feel ok, but in reality
I know spending money on things doesn't solve anything.
Tonight I will ponder this, among 
many other thoughts I can not shut down.
There will also be songs that keep me 
from slumber in the deep Midnight Blue 
of the night,
For example; Song Sung Blue.

I wish I could treat myself to a Tiffany's gemstone to ward away the blues but, alas, since my forensic nursing position of 21 years ended 18 months ago in massive budgets cuts in San Francisco, I can't treat myself to a peanut butter and jelly sanwich. I am definitely singing the blues with my $90,000 drop in annual income but I do like that it's made a blogger out of me.

Nice post.

At 65, I've done it! My poetry book - Life's Journey by Carmen Henesy - is out on Amazon!
( Poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well )

Check it out and read some of the reviews!

THE blues are not fun. Hope they lift soon.

Brenda said...

Susan, I loved this! And who wouldn't want a treat from Tiffany's???

Pondside said...

Very clever, again. I could go for a blue jewel in a blue box, too!

Personalized Sketches and Sentiments said...

I agree...very clever catch of all things blue! And I also agree...something from Tiffany's would be a sweet surprise!

Blessings & Aloha!

I really enjoyed how you crafted this link.

Beautifully written.

Thank you for linking.
