This poem is a great entry for the Choose a Color writing prompt. It is sad, yet shows spirit and gumption. You've pulled yourself up by the bootstraps. Best of luck in the contest.

This is a very well written Ekphrastic poem you have penned. You used very good sad and blue romantic poem. You used great descriptive words and very lovely imagery from the art work you chose. love, Teri

This may be a winner! The "thorny farewell" is brilliant--earns your stars in itself. I hope this is not your experience--in any event, good for her/you for emerging triumphant. Cheers. LIZ

Very emotionally charged. In a way the blue resembled a blue flame. It burned with hurt, sadness, anger, determination and power at the end. The rhyme worked well with story.

First of all from the accompanying picture to the black and blue color scheme this is an impeccable presentation. The rhyming is flawless and there's a very consistent syllable count which allows the poem to flow effortlessly. This is a very solid entry.

Well said. You've described a terrific breakup. Not just a breakup, but because of a friend. That's the most hurtful kind and put into words the pain and anger caused by such betrayal. The last stanza put an exclamation mark on it. Thanks for posting.
