China Blue
China blue in my veins
throbs
with Valencia orange groves
sways
with weeping willows
beside the bamboo-lined
waters—
El Greco blue
lines my heart-valves
pulsates
with nightingale songs
dances
with crimson chrysanthemums
under the autumn sun—
Where the sun rises
I greet the dwindling sunset
speak the dialect
of disparate vernaculars—
China blue in my veins
and the orange groves.

Hi Dee, Thanks for sharing your capture of pretty imagery that warms the imagination! I’d love to one day catch worlds as fireflies with you! Enjoy your summer, and where are you in the fall? _Rhenee
Hi Rhenee! Thank you for reading my post. Enjoy your summer as well! I will probably stay put in New Jersey to enjoy the fall colors. All my best!
