Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
When Blue Fire Auroras Gleam
A trail of tears left behind
In a dazzling blue sky
For all lost souls who
Have passed through
On their journey to the
Golden acre of dreams
Reine des Glaces has deemed
Nothing is as it seems
When blue fire auroras gleam
With colors tender and true
Soaring on iridescent wings
Of a Black Beauty butterfly

Charmed Chaos 
I love the use of colour in this poem, Linda, the dazzling blue sky and the blue fire auroras, and I imagine the iridescent wings of the Black Beauty Butterfly shimmer with blue too!

Oh lovely use of the prompt, Linda. Like Kim, I appreciated all those blues, echoed in that stunning picture. Blue is sadness, of course, but also peaceful – and the colour of the amazing clear skies we’ve been having.

Though your poem speaks to me about sorrow and death, it is still beautiful as agony often is

Somewhat with a tinge of sadness but still you managed to deal with it in a classic way, Linda!
