its scent is distant bonfires
its touch moth-breath

nice poem - the Blue the azure - it is the certain uncertainty lovely thanks
nice poem...I like the way it starts...Blue floats and hovers/it never comes to rest (meaning blue of sky and ocean, which is constantly moving and never at rest) ...
Better than either of the two classic poems selected for this day. KAPOW!
Exceptional metaphoric play throughout, young lady, indeed a well crafted and polished composition... ~FjR~

I love the feeling and sense/sensory impression this poem gives me of vision, or daytime certainties, fading into a dreamlike shadowy lack of clear sight about what our less than 20/20 night vision obscures, yet also opens up for us to our other sensory ways of taking in and thinking about impressions we tend to see more clearly without broad daylight, in transition as the night arrives. That was my first feeling,
Vivid great imagery and smooth flow, words and lines portray a wonderful poetic portrait.
this poem is beautiful... your idea of blue is just perfect... keep writing, thanks Athena *** words will change the world ***
Your bluescape is both eloquent and profound. Exceptional write. Wam regards, Sandra
Dear Philippa, I feel this is a fine poem. It's strongly evocative, it doesn't lecture to the reader, rather gives the reader direct perceptions and associations. My intellect doesn't 'grasp' all of the images (I love the 'pigeons...' section, that I DO grasp clearly) , but I feel there's real intelligence and language that's quite wonderful.
How you have captured a color so grand! The imagery was that of high grander. Patricia Gale
This is absolutely enchanting, Blue is my favorite color so I couldn't resist. Lovely write Joyce
Phillipa-I'm afraid to read any more of your work. You have nailed Blue. Phillip
Philippa, this is lovely and very clever. I would like to try and write a poem like this as an excersise. It would be interesting, don't you think to see what someone else associates with the colour. Thankyou for sharing this. Your friend SG
Good write, well put together
