WHY THE SKY IS BLUE
11 February 2011

I won’t tell you in Laboratory Logic.
I will sing you in Birdsong;
I will lift you in Ecstasy;
I will whisper you in Joy;
I will fly you in Freedom;

The sky is blue
because blue is the colour of music and magic and mystery;
because blue spreads our wings and lifts us up;
because blue drives away the blues and wraps us in Infinity;
because blue is further than blue than blue than blue.
The sky is blue
because we want it so.

Beautiful. The repetition gives your poem a musical feeling. Color imagery is well done. A pleasure to read.

Yep, that's why it's blue cause it's so beautiful that way and you're right we want it so.

I love it when they smile at you.
