tributaries of the Nile, the other being the White Nile.
I am done with you
Blue, does it occur to you
you are depressing
Funny enough, blue
is peaceful, a
color of
love, so well defined
Blue of a sky and
accompanied with sunshine
is one so refined
Blameless of umbrage
misunderstood for long and
unfairly treated
Why then treat you with
disdain, not wanting to get
Great series of The Blue Nile ... it's such a pleasure to read your posts to this Rainbow-week of Carpe Diem. Thank you for sharing Hank.

Never knew there was a blue and white, blue can be swell but then can cause hell. With such disdain, as some let it rain.
