Sunshine Challenge: Prompt 5 Blue

Prompt 5: Blue

Blue is a tranquil color that is associated with a variety of things including: balance, discovery, peace, calm, openness, patience, honor, grace, trust, depression, recovery, prophecy, respect, empathy, flexibility, and water.

Sun-bleached bones were most wonderful against the blue – that blue that will always be there as it is now after all man’s destruction is finished. – Georgia O’Keeffe

Blue is often introspective and deep in its calm stillness. When you have been blue, have you been patient with yourself? Have you taken the time to explore your inner self and discover ways to progress?

Please feel free to answer in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it a memory you share or an artwork you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: share with us some songs or albums that remind you of the color blue or its theme
.



AQUAMARINE
-- an acrostic poem


Across the ocean,
Quivering whitecaps
Undulate over the surface
And tumble into the troughs,
Making the waves break into
Arabesques of bright blue.
Rolling in the wind, falling
Into the sand, the color
Nibbles at the beach then
Elopes into the distance.

Oh, that beach photo is gorgeous and the poem is lovely. I want to win the lotto and just live by the ocean forever.

Arabesques of bright blue. The imagery of water you created,with an elegant motion is so beautiful!!!<3
Nibbles at the beach then
Elopes into the distance.
Ah!!The way the water just touches a part of where we are and then goes back to its own life regardless of what it may or may not be doing to the people is just shown in such a lovely manner.

Ahhhh yes!! I love the movement and tension in your poetry, and what better subject matter than the ocean for both? The word "elopes" made me gasp. A delight.
