Cerulean & Cyaneous
A "C" Entry for The A-Z of Unusual Words Challenge
Cerulean & Cyaneous: deep blue in color like a clear sky
My Connection: My favorite color is blue, especially light and bright shades. I also love to look at the sky whether I'm outside or catching glimpses through my windows.
My Acrostic Poem:
Cloudless sunny day and I’ve got the blues
Every shade between baby and sapphire
Refreshing shades, not the miserable ones
Until rain falls and steeps them in grayscale
Leaving hues of storm and steel in their place
Even those I crave with sad song lyrics
And yet I’m addicted to electric
Nothing quite like the allure of azure
***
Celestial iris, just out of reach
Yearning to be filled up with helium
Ascend to join cumulus company
Nerves soothed out by the canopy of calm
Energy recharged by releasing sighs
One more second becomes several minutes
Until it’s past time to go back inside
Stuck sneaking peeks out my open windows
