January Blues? Poem by David Taylor

January Blues?

Rating: 5.0


Well yesterday was so very grey.
Last night I met my friend and he said
“yes it’s been a grey, blue day”.
Why is it that when it is grey
A blue heart often comes to stay?

Today I am hoping for, blue sky.
Perhaps the blueness from my heart will fly
to join the colour in the sky.
And leave my heart with a different hue.
One that’s full of joy and true.

If only I can remember the colour it was.
Vibrant pink or gentle green or raucous red?
Or was it just a pure clear canvas
on which we write our dreams
and paint a rainbow of emotions?

Have to concur with Fran here David, this is wonderfully depicted! The final stanza does steal the show! HG: -) xx

The end really makes you think what colour is it, changing with our mood maybe thats the answer, good write.
