National Poetry Month – Day 19: Blue

One of my favorite websites is The Marginalian. Today, I read a post title “Is This Blue: Chilean Philosophers Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela on Love and How We Know the World.”

Reading Maria Popova’s post inspired the haiku for Day 19.

I welcome your haiku, too. If you feel inspired to write about blue (or any other color!) or love, or anything, please share in the comments. You might just win a copy of my book, Life: Haiku by Haiku!

    Is it a color
    When hearts leap in unison
    Nothing stays the same
