Blue! you Gangster
Blue!
you Gangster,
hangin’ in the shadows
down the alley
You think
I don’t see you
sliding ‘round
the corner
I was not expecting you
to come into the open
into the light
And now
you’re there
I’m beguiled
again
like always
you consume me
with that crazy
cobalt tie,
ultramarine vest,
cerulean suit,
matching teal hat and
tapping sued shoes…
Tapping, tapping, tapping
raising my veins
making my blood
look blue
like you!
You Gangster,
Blue!

I love the description of Blue’s dress, I can picture it so clearly! Well done
Glad you saw all those blues! Thanks for reading and your comment!
This is great! The description and my imagined picture of Blue, the Gangster.
Thanks for your comment—so glad you liked it and saw Blue.
Mr. BLue friends with Mack the Knife I’m sure! Makes me wanna take the Chicago Gangster Tour and see some of the Mafioso Boys I’m sure I am related to down the line. THIS POEM IS FANTASTIC made me want to put my tap shoes on don the costume of the day in a one themed color of course! Love the way you paint with words my friend!
So good. The upbeat side of blue (and of course there’s always the down beat blues)
