My baby likes the pinks and blues
And all the brighter happy hues.
That’s why we rarely read the news
Unless we’d rather have those blues.
Pun
The blues
of the blues
are so many hues...
But tears are
transparent.
Thank you for the entries ! Setting a deadline for two weeks hence: End of day (PDT) October 12th, 2016.

shake the blues
give it
a colour
proof
yellow
so life a little
mellow
is worth every
fellow
Enjoyed all the entries:
YesNo... Rhyming quatrain (4X8). First alluding to babies by one's spouse/SO (who is also personified as baby) and all things bright and beautiful; contrasted with avoiding the media to stay away from the daily barrage of negativity.
Danik 2016... Interesting quintrain structure - rhyme scheme: AAABC; sillybibbles: 2/3/5/3/3. Personifying the blues of having “blues” of different colors; contrasted with transparent tears gave me pause: Celestial tears begat rainbows.
cacian... The quintessential cacian: A 9-line free form poem with a hint of a rhyme scheme: ABCDEFEGE; sillybibbles: 3/2/3/1/2/5/2/5/2. Tongue in cheek, inspired, I wax poetic:
take your blues
by the scruff
shake them - red-shift
just enough...
life effulgent
under yellow sun
a mellow fellow
(waxing without wane)
now begun

Round, hot ball of light
Seldom seen at night,
Seen best during day
When clouds go away.
Cinquain: The Sun
the sun -
or matchless light
graces a celestial
destiny: an eternal state
of joy

Obscure Tarzan image.
The Sun dries Goddess into dust.
Felt like that?

enjoyed the direct simile of the sun description here
the contrast between light and dark is clever.
