When entering a sapphire,
sip blue curaçao
gaze at aquamarine
night eyes
while humming “Am I blue?”,
In early summer
lounge under azure sky,
lean
to wild indigo sea
inhaling
lavender and wisteria,
singing your rhapsody
in sweet minor key.

It’s silly perhaps but I had to ask as I have encountered so many Virgos in my life…and notable Libras :))

Oh my! This is stunning! What a beautiful poem for me to begin my Wednesday with…so glad you posted to the prompt! I LOVE that you have immersed yourself in everything sapphire — going deeper and deeper into the beauty of blue…and even the blue curaco which is so appropriate for enjoying the dVerse pub! 🙂

Thanks Lillian 🙂 I don’t usually go for blue drinks (though curaçao is an irresistible word) but maybe I should adopt one for my Sapphire birthday month 🙂

With aquamarine it seems that shades of blue are everywhere. Nice poem.

I love these instructions for entering a sapphire. Great hook of an opening line and the rest of the poem follows through on the promise of the title. Nice!
