this series, posted weekly on Fridays, brings you poems, stories & art by a younger shannon. today’s is from ~1980, approximately age 11.
what is blue?
Blue is a color
That makes you feel Sad
Blue is a color
That makes you feel glad
The color blue
Makes something old
something new.
Blue is a color
That makes you feel cool
On a Hot summer Day
OR Blue is a color
That can make you feel like a fool.
Blue can be a color
On a shirt or a blouse
or blue can be the color
of a little baby mouse.
Blue is the sky
On a nice cool day
That makes you run
away and away
Blue is a book
or a fishing hook
What is Blue?
Now you know.
Maybe it could
Be snow!

I love this, and the art is ✨️👌
Wow, a wonderful piece of art accompanies this very clever poem. I love the "something old something new". So interesting what 11yos pick up on. Looking forward to Friday throwback poems!
