bursts apart,
vein and ventricle
bleed blue
cobalt inkspill
onto quill, page, skin.
Cyan breeze whispers azure secrets
pours out steely dawn
with sapphire smile.
This cerulean mile
This indigo ocean
This slate gilded glass lake
This peacock hope
This pool of unwashed dreams
This blue ribboned stream
of consciousness
This mirror of
sorrow salted sea
and star spilled midnight sky
This bold blue, blurry me.

Beautiful images in this poem!
Oh, De, purely magical, mystery of you in all of the most beautiful hues of blue! I love this bit with all my heart: Cyan breeze whispers azure secrets
pours out steely dawn
with sapphire smile.
A huge Happy Easter shout out to you and your family, De!! Much love to you!
Loved the way you moved through the many facets of the color blue.
Blown away, De!
You do, indeed, bleed blue — in all its tints & shades! And these blurry eyes always enjoy reading poems from “bold blue, blurry” you! :-))
lovely word use & images
Thank you all, so much. 🙂
Love, love love:
“cobalt inkspill
onto quill, page, skin.
Cyan breeze whispers azure secrets”
“steely dawn” … LOL, you play with words like I do (used to do this a lot more); reminds me of sheryl crow: “steely dan rather be a hammer than a nail”
More love for this line: “This bold blue, blurry me.”
I did read this poem this morning but didn’t have time to comment. 🙂
Thanks, Shawna. I was afraid somebody would pick up on the similarity to “Steely Dan.” I tried to talk Dawn out of that adjective, but she wanted it. So, Dan and Dawn it is. Bossy, these words. 😉
Saw you have a new one. Cannot read until I do my Magpie. I tend to absorb things by osmosis, and I’m always paranoid that I’ll plagiarize. And since I love the way you turn a phrase, I might be apt to accidentally put it in my pocket on my way out. 😉
My is too tiny to copy. It’s six very short lines. 🙂
That’s just the right size for pockets. I am not to be trusted. 😉
A magical, beautiful write!

Thank you, “Anna Gramme.” (Love the pen name!)
