Deep blue acrylic nails. The sign of passion
… or obsession depending on perspective.
Blue handbag, the same shade. Coated with
silver signatures, numbers, and
that one lone star.

Her woman cave, the walls of course,
adorned with blue. And random blue artifacts
scattered about the room.

On top the fireplace mantle, a crazy woman with
Blue shirt, blue shoes, blue hat, and beaming smile,
standing next to the white sign with blue letters,
“We Hate The Redskins”.

Next to that, a proud—still crazy—woman
with another blue shirt and blue shoes. Hands
with blue acrylic nails holding up five fingers
blessed with five Superbowl rings.

Soon the sounds her screaming and shouting. Clapping
her hands and rumbling the floor with her feet.
“Goooo Babyy Goooo!! Run Run Run!! TOUCHHDOWNNN!”
Pretty sure even with the windows closed, you could hear her
half way down the damn street.

Shaking the walls. Rocking the small blue salt and pepper shakers,
(never been used). On display with cups, oven mitts, and pot holders
That all have that same blue hue.

“Mom, you’re never not wearin’ blue”
“That’s right baby! Gotta represent my Cowboy pride 365!”

In our house, it’s football season all year round.
Yayyy! First list poem! I lovedd it! And let me guess her favorite color is... blue? Good spacing and good alliteration and I really like the last line! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this poem. The color imagery and characterization is displayed through actions and speech. This is very descriptive. The repetition of blue intensifies the character's passion for the cowboys. In addition, this is a really relatable topic and the use of "!" creates an exciting tone. Auditory and visual imagery is clearly outlined here, great job
ReplyDeleteThis poem is great! I feel like I am at your house with all the imagery and detail. It's very relatable because my house is the exact same with football! Good job!
ReplyDeleteI love this more after reading it a second time! You make the repetition of "blue" work here so effortlessly. But.... GO RAVENS! ;)
