Blue are the tears
On my saddest day,
Blue is the ocean
To wash them away.

Blue is the sapphire
That glows in the light,
Blue is the moon
that shines at night.
Blue sounds like sad music
Mellow and low,
Blue is the bruise
On my big toe.

Blue tastes like a hot meal
On a rainy day,
Blue is the feeling of
A spring day in May.

Blue is the rhythm
Of beating drums,
Blue is the sound
Of annoying hums.

Blue is a very good
Color you see,
Blue is the rhythm
of you and me!

Beautiful sky pictures, Joe, whether you are in Hocking or in Florida.... Looks like all of the leaves are off of your trees in Ohio. Ours are also--about 98% now. It's great now for me as a Bird Watcher... I can see them more clearly.

Have a great evening.

I love the pictures, especially those bare bleached trees. I wouldn't be able to write a poem like that either. I wish I could.

For a while, I thought the second photo was a volcano erupting. I have been tslking about volcanoes in Auckland.

Is is hard to make collages?
