Blues riff
on a cocktail napkin
a single tear
They want my blue eyes. If they only knew …
clear sky
rustling leaves
summer wind
The talk of a coming “Blue Tsunami…” As if.
all the calm
of the ocean
politics
Traveling these blue ways …
for dVerse Poets’ Quadrille #107 – Blue Monday (pubtended by Kim Russell)
After summer break, the Pub is open! Come join us!
Share the love. Spread the haikai:

Love it, Frank. You worked “blue” over and under, and per usual, your form is unique. Got me thinking of the “BlueTsunami” coming in November.

Very nice set Frank! I can’t wait for the political smog to clear. Seem like Beijing with no Blue sky in sight!

I love the image, so many shades of blue, the shape and form of your quadrille, and the word play and imagery in:
‘Blues riff
on a cocktail napkin
a single tear’.
I also share Grace’s hope that the blue tsunami washes away the ocean of dirt. Let’s see what mayhem Mary Trump’s book releases.

Interesting form, Frank. I like the first stanza, makes me think of old Hollywood films, then old blue eyes…
