Blue

I think I’m feeling cobalt;

or is it indigo?

I’ve got a box of crayons ~

I can name the whole rainbow

 

Could be I’m really sapphire;

or azure is the hue ~

why can’t I be like other folk

and just say I’m feeling blue? 

Author's Note

How I was feeling yesterday... come to think of it, maybe it was Navy...

You might be better off with a mood ring if you can find one online. haha Yes, we all feel blue from time to time. Someday scientist will invent something we can plug into our brain that will make us feel good all the time. (And that's without drugs too). I was never a crayon type of kid, more building blocks and something to bang with. Nice little poem Rita. Complete with blue fonts.

There was nothing like the smell of a fresh box of crayons when I was a kid... :) I usually am in high spirits (yes, without drugs) and I like the color blue, so it's all good! Thanks, Tim!

Periwinkle blue was always my favorite. There are so many shades, I hope today's hue is sky blue Rita.

[Rita L. Sev]

Ah, today was a sunshine-yellow day! :) Thank you to my favorite shade, "Icelandicblue"! :)

[icelandicblue]

Good to hear!

[Jessie MacDonald]

Love it. It is so charming and comical at the same time. I think we all feel different shades of blue from time to time.

[Rita L. Sev]

Different shades, indeed! Thank you, Jessie!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

You could be what ever color you want... I was tell yourself you are pink and trick your mood.

[Rita L. Sev]

Today is more of an orange day! :)

Whenever you are feeling blue (or navy) just rub noses with Frankie dog and you will feel better. My poochies always perk me up. I hope you are feeling better today, Rita. Angi~ xoxo

[Rita L. Sev]

Much better. Yes, Frankie is my sunshine on a cloudy day! :) Thank you, my dear!

[Angi]

I knew she would be just that for you.

I absolutely love every shade of blue that exists! Its my favourite. So this poem was a treat to me :) Really loved it.
I think I'm feeling pretty sapphire today :D

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Rhea! :)

[Aehr]

:D Any time, Rita.

[Sarai Lee]

I think I often feel Teal or Turquoise! Being just blue doesn't do "blue" justice! Great job!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Sarai! I know - "blue" is just not quite descriptive enough!

[Lydia Shutter]

Lapis Lazuline would be my choice! :) Very clever write. I hope you are feeling more rosy today! Lydi**

[Rita L. Sev]

I do love Lapis! :) Thanks, Lydi - yes, I am much more in the pink!

[Lydia Shutter]

Great....may it ever be so! :)

[Tom]

I cuddle a Shih-tzu whenever I'm feeling blue ?? ( hint) !

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Yes, my Labrador retriever is the best antidepressant!

[Marie]

How are you feeling today? Robin's egg...?

[Rita L. Sev]

More of a festive royal, I think... ;)
