Singing the blues and other stories

Today's poems are whiny - or whingey - if you prefer the somewhat obsolete version of the word, per Websters' Dictionary of 1913.  Poetic Asides gave a prompt on Wednesday (Yeah, I know.  I'm late.) of, 'One of these days...'  SiS/Few Miles' prompt for today was 'Faith' and finally, Big Tent Poetry was all about the blues and how to get rid of that which ails you.  Here goes...

Blue

I truly cherish blue.

It’s my favorite color

so any other hue

seems to me much duller.

I do not wish to rid

myself of bluish tinge

because if rid I did,

I’d be so blue I’d whinge.

A Spectre of Success

One of these days,

(in a future life, I guess?)

my book might get published

and be a success.

For now, I've accepted

that people seem smitten

with books by celebs

that are often ghost written.

Murphy Strikes Again

Ya gotta have faith…

…anything that can’t go wrong

without a doubt, will.

In a Sea of Blue

I really love this work of art!  It just seems so upbeat and so full of joy and freedom.  Poets United Thursday Think Tank gave a prompt which involved visiting DeviantArt (a wonderful site for artists, writers and poets) and randomly choosing and then using one piece of art there to inspire a poem.

No greater pleasure

exists than to be soaring

as if one had wings.
