I Spill

Posted on August 1, 2018 by Joanna M. Weston

Endless blue skies, with heat, water shortage, and I can only write
about blue … and more blue …

I SPILL

royal blue words
as soprano rises cerulean            

falls below navy blue
arcs up then beyond
through aquamarine
turquoise    cobalt

shades of passion
blending as swiftly
as the flow of tides
that wash depression
into a cyan heaven
where laughter thrills
in the clash of sapphires

The slave who looks after the wise men’s camels, or the overworked maid at the inn who has to fetch water for the birth, and many more. A lovely gift for the reader on your Christmas list!’ Rosalind Adams. Available from Amazon and Kindle.
