Hi everyone,
Sorry I didn’t get our new word posted yesterday. We were moving around a bit and I lost track of the date. Cory, have we used BLUE yet? I don’t have the master list you sent me with me. If we’ve used it before, I hope it wasn’t recently. Either way it’s a good word filled with ideas.
Off we go, into the wild _____ yonder!
David,
I checked my list twice
So I know.
Into the wild yonder with
BLUE― indubitably a go!
Thank you, Cory! Couldn’t do this without you!
Deep Blue
Not so much a moment
or an ocean, or your eyes
when you are thinking,
or untying the knots
of a long life,
but the shine of desire
for me or chocolate
or a fine wine,
or a funny story
you forgot to tell me
until just now,
that deep blue
of your voice,
as we climb the mountain
of old friendship
and turn it into something more.

Jane, I love your poem and what inspired it. Blue on, my friend. XO
PERIWINKLE
Drop of violet
tints light blue
into my favorite color,
softening bright into lush,
song into lullaby.
Not a color for hard, like canvas or ice,
or even saddles or shovels,
rocks or bricks
but soft, for picture books and poetry,
soft couches and cuddles,
drop of violet tinting blue.
