Blue Comments

Yes, colors speak. You don't identify what the title color BLUE means to you. For Georg Trakl, BLUE meant spiritual vision and often inner peace; for Wallace Stevens, it symbolized the Imagination. And then there is that indigenous American vocal music THE BLUES, which celebrates life itself, despite the hardships, as a sweet and wonderful gift. You associate two other colors with emotions, but blue is just itself at the beginning of the poem. // These long, dangling SKINNY POEMS seem to be impromtus, spontaneous and evocative.
