Bluetiful



in a boys eyes
blue
nothing else

soft blue
eyes
turned blue

sad as life
blue
still blue

oceans wide
blue

in a man's eyes
blue

he is
blue

his life is...bluetiful
.
.

after looking at beige
I am certain
more so than ever
I was meant to be

Blue

    I like the word play with bluetiful and the awareness of the many roles "blue" plays in our lives.

    bluetiful..love that word play.. and you are so meant to be blue...that kind of steel blue that hits right into the bull's eye and the soft blue that makes you able to write with such emphaty..

    Blue is always the color of emotion for me. You pull it out of the shadows so that it fits the tale you tell here well.

    A bluetiful poem! Blue itself is such an evocative word, and your repetition of it rings like a bell with each use. Lovely.
