Dedicated to those who are either searching for that drug that removes sadness or who themselves think that they can in their own power remove other people's blues.


A True Blues-remover


You search and fly around in rings
with bright unusual hues
a dust invisible on things
you leave; (not from your muse)
that dust can be deep purple
or more simply-tinted hues
the likes of tan and earthtone, but also fascinating blues!
If Light you hope to bring the dark,
the sad; you're but a bug -
beware your dust will leave a mark
so try instead to hug!

F.i.in.e Moods The PoetBay support member heart!
there's nothing more supportive than offering a hug instead of barging in trying to fix things that can't be fixed by others... a hug says a lot more than words or actions in certain situations... this is where your words sent my thoughts... depends on the context i guess... but i agree, there are no happy pills, or blues erasing powers, but love sure helps support the weight through the blah-times... thought-provoking write for me this one... the last 4 lines make a nifty conclusion to the thought... i really liked the feeling it gave... thanks :f *hug* xx

I love the lyricism, the tinge of subtle humour and the rhythm, which is well maitained through out.

I am the bug, but I try to hug!

I love your use of metaphorical language and original imagery in delivring a message. These, together with the subtle sound effects in your poem, serve to make it memorable. I look forward to reading more of your wonderful poems.
