Blue
Blue
by Jimmy
Blue is the taste of stick of pepper-mint gum,
it is the sight of a magnificent waterfall in the middle of nowhere,
it sounds of running tap water in an almost over flooded sink,
it feels of the combination of embarrassment and relief of falling in a shallow creek on a hot dry hike with your friends.
Blue is the smell of the earth after a long undying storm,
Blue is the combination of ice and boiling water,
it tastes of a Popsicle with fake lemon-like flavoring,
it sounds like a bird's awkward but beautiful song at the crack of dawn.
My son's poem for 5th grade. I wanted to cry blue the first time I read it. Now I share it with you.
