Today, everything is blue,
the sky, the sea, the eyes,
the mysteries and the wool
on Cathy's shoulders,

everything is blue in my suitcase,
the memories and Jordan,
everything is blue in the garden,
even the strawberries, finally...

When the blues hit you there is nothing quite like it. Cloudy skies and blue, blue, blue . . .

You wrapped me so nicely in your blue-ness, dear Yann.

The only thing that makes me frown are the blue strawberries ... well they transformed magically into blueberries.

Blue is the color of vastness I say, you are vast in your expressions, dear Yann.

You managed, quite artfully, to take a personalized poem and make it accessible to your readers.

Not easily done, but I think you achieved your mark, underscored with blue strawberries...

Much enjoyed.

thanks jerry, it is so funny that the poem was written in french , first , in which language, blue is only a color, a precious one, but has no signification like in english, no sadness at all here, but the poem works with it too, for the best,thanks a lot,

I have tasted those blues lately .. they tasted peaceful on my tongue as I kind of stayed by myself.
