Blue
The sky, the sea,
the backcloth
to my dreams.
Expressive, flowing,
exploring thought
and feeling through its
hues.
There's calmness in its lighter shades;
it cools the heart,
refreshes like
water.
Bat sadness has its place in those
closest to cerulean.
We think of tears,
do we not,
when we feel pale blue?
In sharpness, there is coldness.
The iciness prevents that flow
of self-expression,
when we picture blue-tinged snow.
But we like Blue's variety
- at least, artists do.
The deeper shades speak Mystery.
The cavern depths,
the oceans great:
they have a place in Fantasy.
When sapphire auras pervade
your mind, I dare to bet
you're feeling magic.
And I,
who lets Fantasy affect
my life,
adore the sight (and sound) of
mystic lapis lazuli.
Ink.
Blue ink.
Though other colours of ink exist,
we usually write
in black or blue.
So blue shares the
honour
of producing some great written pieces.
The dark colours,
like navy,
seem to me...
more secretive,
closer to the shadows.
They also represent
formality:
in suits and ties;
the Navy
adopts them as its colours.
Yet denim like s a dark hue,
so the Shades are casual too.
To summarise, blue is
multitude
of moods
and messages conveyed;
it hangs all around us
like ribbons in the air...

Author guidance for This poem
Colour is ... inspirational. It brings life to the world, depth to our feelings, vividness to our imagination. Nature uses colour to emphasise her beauty, artists use colour to express themselves. I cannot truly do Colour justice in this set of poems but hopefully people will enjoy them and write their own poetry, which is never a bad thing. So sit back, read and think.
NOTE: Some of the poems I may have written before. I thought they were appropriate for the anthology.

This is not the original poem. Here's a link to the original poem: http://www.protagonize.com/poem/calm-and-blue
I changed it because I wrote the original poem when I was in second year, and those were the days where I thought all poetry had to rhyme. I think this changed version is much better.
