A Short Ode to Blue
You fill the sea and
the waves on the shore,
even the coral on
the ocean's floor.
You cover the shell
of a robin's egg,
the tights on a
dancer's graceful leg.
You are seen by people
both far and nigh
as you hang with the clouds
so very high in the sky.
You give us a word to use
when we are down,
for music with a
sad, jazzy sound.
You are on our proud flag,
a thing of such power,
along with the petals of
a new spring flower.
You are a favorite color
yes, yes it's true.
there's no one like you,
that one sweetest blue.
the waves on the shore,
even the coral on
the ocean's floor.
You cover the shell
of a robin's egg,
the tights on a
dancer's graceful leg.
You are seen by people
both far and nigh
as you hang with the clouds
so very high in the sky.
You give us a word to use
when we are down,
for music with a
sad, jazzy sound.
You are on our proud flag,
a thing of such power,
along with the petals of
a new spring flower.
You are a favorite color
yes, yes it's true.
there's no one like you,
that one sweetest blue.
