I liked this free verse poem as an entry in this colour blue poetry contest. The work seems to be biographical, as the subject progressed to eighty from twenty. Some excellent repetition, which gives it a lyrical feel, a great approach, articulate with strategic rhyme.nostalgia seemingly the base of it. Well done, good entry. Good luck, blessings, Roy

A very well-written poem about the color blue and a blue necklace as a gift fora twenty year old who have the same blue necklace around her neck sixty years later before her eighty first birthday.

I can only wish you all the best with the contest. The blue reminded me of my favourite colour - Egyptian blue, the blue of The Eye.
Shiny blue beads, lovingly made,
wrapped up in a blue box,
with blue ribbon too.
A powder blue tag,
to make sure it's not missed,
given from the heart and sealed with a kiss.

I really love this poem. Not only does it include the color , but it is a very sentimental story about the life of a woman, and someone who loved her. The beads were witness to a life well lived. Thank you, and good luck in the contest.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. Thanks for taking the time to read my poem, it's just a great feeling to be able to share my work.😊
Comment from N.K. Wagner
A sweet poem with very effective repeated lines and string rhythm and rhyme. It traces the adulthood of a now elderly woman by noting the times they were worn or admired. Well done. :) Nancy
