the blue flute

 begins a tune of

indigo


~~


listening to blues

in clubs and savoring the wines

that ooze in silky notes


~~


an arch of blue

a mountain sky

of scented maple dew


~~


a dirty shirt

laundered

clean but blue


~~


one team was blue

the other orange

I chose the former, she the latter


~~


a bluestocking
I prefer
to a blondestocking


~~


the North was blue

the South was gray

our shame was black
