I made this poem way back my Masteral days in 2006. We were tasked by Prof.  Concesa Lagare  to create poems using COLORS. I chose blue (being my favorite) not realizing emotion surfaced.Reading this now,I could still feel its intensity and nostalgic whip...I guess, my twist of a Limerick one gave the stance and attitude to make it as it was...enjoy!
