My new favourite of yours, Rajani. This reads like a gentle reverie - blue, like the sweater, like the sky, like the sky reflected in the river. Just beautiful.
Thank you, Paul. Appreciate your kind words. I will try and record a reading sometime!! I have a few on Instagram but haven't posted audio on substack yet!!
One of the most astonishingly beautiful and deeply blue poems I have ever encountered.
Thanks so much, Debra. 🙏
The repititions a rhythn.
Thanks so much, Petru!
Likewise Rajani.
I'm so take by the beauty of this blue poem, Rajani, I 'm lost for words.
Thank you, Kim. Much appreciated. 🙏🙏❤️
Saving to savour again later, a saviour even.
Thanks so much, Greg. 🙏
I really the various descriptive imagery in the poem, Rajani. One of my favourite lines:
"Spare
and strong and made of
pewter sun."
Thanks so much, Neil.
"The way it is written,
the way it is sung, the way
it goes . . . "
And the way you write it crosses the bridge, crosses the chasm on a bridge, carrying blue with it. Bravo!
Thanks so much, Susan 🙏❤️

Thank you, Sherry :)
What a wonderful piece, Rajani, full of sound and texture—incantatory. I would love to hear it read aloud!

The dichotomy that blue represents. Brilliant and never a day when I go back without something meaningful.
That’s so kind, Sonia…thank you so much! ❤️🙏
This is beautiful—the repetition and sounds—mesmerizing and haunting.
Thanks so much, LeeAnn. 🙏
A requiem for both the living and the dead. Sometimes it's hard to tell where the border lies.
Thank you, K. Yeah, some cross the border, some work with a blur and some have enough apathy to make it a thick, hard line…
This brings to mind U2"s "Bullet the Blue Sky."
Not familiar with their music but thank you :)
