Feeling Blue


By Kathy Armijo


 


Feeling blue today.


Don’t know why.


Sun is shining.  Not a cloud in the sky.


The air is fresh and clean.


 


I think I get this way when the seasons change.


There’s a certain feeling of “undone.”


Now it’s time to give myself that same old sermon.


 


“Be thankful for what you have.


Quit wishing your life away.


Today is a beautiful and glorious day.


 


Do something useful.


Write a poem.  Do the laundry.  Clean the house.


Don’t be such a louse.”


 


The blue is beginning to change to indigo.


Soon it will be violet,


And I’ll see its dismal blue no more.


 


Finally, the bright colors of life’s rainbow I see.


Up and at ‘em.


 


As Larry, the Cable Guy says


“Get ‘er done!”


I’m done with this poem.


Think I’ll do some laundry,


Or not.


But, I am onto greener pastures.

I think the Gravy Queen took a bit of the colors from this poem to make her gravy tonight -- lots of blue -- I wondered why. It was so lovely. And thanks again for the rainbow. --Charlie

Sometimes its just a chemical imbalance, and sometimes its spiritual warfare. Whatever it is - it always sucks. Writing about it often helps; at times it can even be a cathartic!

Been feelin' pretty blue myself; last several stories have reflected this; but I am going to keep on going. I have to. No use wallerin' in self pity; just try again for my disability; have already appealed; if denied again, lawyer time! Very frustrating; but I am NOT giving up! No sireee~!

I like your poem. It certainly reflects the way I've been feeling. You suggest a method for moving away from the "down in the dumps". I use an equally helpful phrase: "I want..." I want to be happy. I want this to be a wonderful day, etc. etc. Thanks for sharing.

Kathy,
This is so understandable, I have been feeling blue and not knowing why, I also believe that it is due to the change of the seasons and also the time change. You are right, just a quick wake up call and we get back on tract.

Peace, Love, and light,
Amber "V"
