Skylar in Blue
a streak
of clay yellow
captures the blue
of your bonnet
hugging snug
coiffing your dark hair
strands
tucked neatly
around your ear
flowing down
your angel-white neck
I lean
to feel the whisper
of your thoughts
floating
just on the brink
of your aqua-brown eyes
soft
as a cygnet’s feathers
Oh! I see ––
you’re on your way
Well then,
go
fly away
with your colors
