heavenly blue…

Spring, hasn’t exactly sprung 

Yet, winter seems to be on hold

Not a stitch of bold

Nor is it cold

The birds are all a-twitter 

In the milky gray skies

With a healthy helping

Of mad mosquitos 

But, in my heart

I know blue..

Heavenly blue

Twitter, sets me to think of

Tutter, the mouse

Who lives with Bear

In the Big Blue House 

Thhaannkkk yyyoouu bbeeaarrrrr

He always replies

Softening not slurring 

That final rrrr

Not like a pirate thing

And it doesn’t so much roll

As much as it sings..

..Tutter’s heart full of gratitude 

His fur as blue as the big blue house

Such a silly little mouse

Whom I hear this fine morning 

Twittering in the birdsong nearby

Turning my white sky

To an enchanting blue

Quick as a wink

Or a blink

In the far away land

Of my mind’s eye…
