A Poem by Thayne Whipple

Blue

Feb 10, 2016
Birds like peacock, parrot, jay;
Water in a sparkling bay,
Navy Angels flying team,
Edvard Munch’s famous scream,
Velvet movie, sunny skies,
Little boy, and Nordic eyes,
Donald’s hat, and cartoon clues,
Glacier ice, and nasty bruise,
Rhapsody and Danube song,
Crayon, tropical sarong,
Poets say that violets are,
New York City police car,
Suede shoes in that Elvis tune,
Forget-me-not, infrequent moon,
Dress clothes for US Marines,
Cookie Monster, denim jeans,
Periwinkle, Smurfs so cute,
Winner’s ribbon, pin-stripe suit
‘Vegas man group, butterfly
Whales, and bubbles, berry pie
Skin that’s really, really cool;
Color of a swimming pool
Sapphires, and dresses too …
Now I’m feeling kind of blue.
