A BLUE HAIKU

This haiku was inspired by the color “Baby Blue”. This color often mistaken for the color turquoise, has been used to distinguish between having a boy or girl at birth (i.e., the boy wears baby blue and the girls wear a pastel pink). It has also been the symbol of distinguishing ancient and old families as “Aristocrats” and not just “High Society”, “Old Money”, "swinger" and/ or “common”.

This is also the premier color for the well-known and famous high-end retail brand, Tiffany’s!

This color, is also considered very tribal, for the fact that, you will find this color in many of the patterns in clothing, the stones in ethnic jewelry like the Opal stone used to magnify one’s own power, and in tribal artwork.

This color is also the same color as the color of the chakra wheel in the throat of a human being. When a human being develops a constant behavioral routine for speaking the truth, this chakra wheel glows very bright. Giving one a youthful glow and outlook on life, usually emanating a clean bill of health. When it doesn’t, the light in this chakra diminishes and becomes dark. It can even look black, being obsolete. Thus, giving rise to a medical emergency!

Have you ever heard of the “Blue-eyed Devil” or hear a female say, “I just love his baby-blues”. Time-and-time again, women all over the world, have fallen in love with a man who has baby-blue eyes, only to get their hearts ripped out of their chest and stomped on, because their the most desired.
