BLEU

Y2K was the Cerulean year

A girl turned ten

Every blue year was an odd one

Again

Began burning beneath an Aqua Sky

Blue Turquoise brayed teenage cry

Sand Dollar, neutral, sweet sixteen

Chili Pepper brain made of plasticine

Blue Iris downed a saphired journey

A graduate from gown to gurney

Back to Turquoise - venti fears

Emerald respite, Orchid tears

Last year’s hue, with much ado

A Classic Blue year, through and true

Illuminating yellow to blaze her by-

A soul that craves Lavender sky.
