Melodies In Blue Poem by Tom Billsborough

Melodies In Blue



Cornflowers rise
And your blueeyes
melodies in blue
A damsel hovers
The bugloss favours
Queues ofhungry bees.
You lift your eyes
And now the skies
Reflect you too
In melodies of blue.

(cont.) damsel hovers? DO you mean 'a young unmarried woman' [where can i find a few of those? ], OR... noun: damselfly a slender insect related to the dragonflies, having weak flight and typically resting with the wings folded back along the body. i'd prefer punctutation to help me. and a Poet's Notes. but nobody is perfect...........except ME, ...of course! bri ;)

If you find any blue damsels please let me know, Bri. I'll join the queue behind yours truly. Yes, PH did miss a trick there with BUG LOSS. Perhaps we can devise a poem that really traps them First one wins a hamburger. Now everyone says I'm Perfect and Immortal or was it Immoral? I'll check that out. The plant's botanical name is Echium.

bu·gloss ˈbyo͞oɡläs/ noun noun: bugloss; plural noun: buglosses a bristly plant of the borage family, with bright blue flowers....at least i now know PH did not delete a space between bug and loss, which i THOUGHT might have happened. i've heard of borage, but not bugloss. (cont.)

Thanks, Sarah. I wrote it a few minutes ago. Blue is my favorite color. The Bugloss called Viper's bugloss in England has the botanical name Echium. It is regarded as the best flower for bees and it has been in flower since June and still flowering now. in my garden
