TeenWork - Autumn 2007
Thinking of Blue
What is blue?
Blue is the calm
rolling waves of the sea,
like a bird that
sings a soft melody.
Blue is the jeans
that are starting to fray,
the eyes that I see
in the mirror each day.
The mountain with a
peak that reaches so high,
A dolphin,
a heron,
a blue butterfly.
Blue is the sky when
it’s nice outside,
the sparkling water
that flows with the tide.
The sound of blue is
drip, drip, drop,
like the taste of a
yummy ice pop.
A creek in the middle
of a still forest,
a lively song sung by
a chorus.
The world would be a
blank white page,
if it didn’t have
blue to light up its stage.
