Blue

After yesterday*s chill and wet, gray skies, today*s blue and white and gold felt like what fall ought to be.  Now it is gray again.  I remember it was blue not three hours ago.

It was a little blue today,

The blue of true blue

Fall skies

Punctuated by white clouds,

Full cumulus,

Gold yellow leaves

Unfallen

Yet.

This morning showed blue

To early afternoon.

I hold on

To this short-term memory

Of blue

Mid-afternoon.

It was blue.

It will be that particular blue

Again.
