Blue
by Ivy Yu
Ethan’s favorite sweater
The chairs in which I sit
The jeans that Joy always wears.
Crickets chirping
The endless questions my mom fires at me
The calming sound of the ocean.
Sweet, juicy, ripe blueberries
A blue raspberry lollipop
Berry yogurt.
The cold, refreshing touch of popsicle on tongue
The exciting brush of ocean waves on my toes
Rain on my bare skin.
Cool, calm, refreshing… It's a lifelong summertime.
