a blue thought

probably not what you think

I looked for you

in the wide blue sky--

and missing you --

I peeked into the Robin's nest.

You were not there so

I walked out alone

in the Midnight wave.

Searching long and loud

for that Cerulean hue.

I wandered far--

peered around and under

Violet and Gentian and Lotus flower.

I knew I'd find you.

Somewhere along the lonely road

And  one bright day, I might . . .

"Searching long and loud
for that Cerulean hue."

This part is my favorite. I find that it reflects the overall feel of the poem really well. Once again, you've found a good balance in this one - there is something blue and sad to it, but on the other hand I felt confident in your words. comfortable. Your imagery is beautiful but not over-done, it lets the reader understand and appreciate, but isn't confusing.

The last line is one of the most beautiful you have written. A poignant song of the blues.

not finished? if you say so, but i think its fine as it is. this is a perfect little poem, this goes into my favorites. great movement, great wording, feel, tone, all of it. the incomplete ending is beautiful and heartbreaking. great job on this emily, very well done.

The pacing, the punctuation, and the general flow are very reminiscent of "that other Emily". This is very nicely done, indeed.

Hey Em, if you come across the person I'm looking for in your travels, will you whisper something in their ear? It doesnt matter what you whisper, anything will do so long as its a whisper.. You do them so beautifully.

[Ed Hart]

yes, we do that...look, search, long...when it arrives we are already different, not of wanting, but of worth...

[AK]

Maybe, maybe not... either way this is you. That's good enough.

I dunno about god, but blue looks good on you.

[~*The Writer In Me*~]

Sounds good so far.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Well so far so good... I think we often try to find signs God exists in some big form but if we look closely at that nest, sky and flowers you will see God in all of them for all life is God.
