"Blue" has many meanings,
From colours to feeling sad.
From righteousness to indecency,
From sainthood to naughty cad.

Sapphire, cyan and indigo,
Cerulean and baby-blue,
Azure, navy and aquamarine,
Lapis and turquoise too.

There's the blue of sad emotions
~ Feeling despondent, teary, and bleak.
Depressed, downcast and doleful,
Morose, dispirited and weak.

Blue denotes the firmament,
~ The empyrean and atmosphere.
It represents the azure deeps,
And sunny skies of clear.

Then suddenly, out of the blue,
And completely unexpected,
Rides a moralistic puritan,
Righteous and blue-complected!

"Blue" has many meanings,
From colours to feeling sad.
From righteousness to indecency,
From sainthood to naughty cad!

My favorite color
(since black isn’t a color)
you explored the many sides of it.
Enjoyed the poem.

Blue, one of my favorite colors.  And yes, it can mean so many, many things as you've so well put.  

blue chameleon
shifting color in hued moods
from joy to sorrow

  Much enjoyed --

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Beautiful you
Angel of Blue ...




I lost my ring
of Acquamarine

But I am not blue
as long as there is you ...


Loved your BLUE inspiration, dear Linda!

Good evening, Professor!

Yes, black is the absence of colour! So your next choice is a good one! Actually, black is very much under-rated and misunderstood! I'm partial to it myself! ~ after the colours of the rainbow! lol

Warm hugs,

Thank you, Dixie, for the "wonderful" comment! I have noticed that you have becoming a much lighter shade of blue lately! ~ and that is a good thing! ~ as you can see by that little picture of me, I'm still blue in the face myself! lol

(does happy dance) Yay! Oh Linda, blue is a beautiful color to me, and is one of my favorite colors along with yellow and pink! (kiss on cheek) Ever so often, I have gorgeous dreams, and one of them is where I'm lying in my bed daydreaming and all a sudden a blue morpho butterfly comes flittering through my open window and lands where my heart beats, and it isn't nervous at all and just flitters there, then magically turns into my dream girl, whose eyes are blue like the butterfly she is, yay! (smiles) No matter which colored eyes she has, I'm going to love her with all my heart, but blue will always be a special color to me because it is both the color of the sky and the ocean, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I be honored Sir Knight, that thou wouldst defend mine poet's honor!

With blushing cheeks, I offer mine deepest appreciation. Thank you, m'lord. May God's blessings be rained upon thee.

With kindred love,
