What is Blue?

What is blue? The sky is blue,
Pretty in the moon's golden glow.
What is blue? A blue jay is blue,
next to the shimmering snow.

What is blue? Neptune is blue,
Without a soul in sight.
What is blue? An ocean is blue,
Amazing in the dark black night.

What is blue? Hydrangeas are blue,
Surrounded by mounds of earth.
What is blue? Salamanders are blue,
Directly from their hard, sad birth.

What is blue? Bluebirds are blue,
Flying with those beautiful wings.
If you look around and notice,
There are so many amazing blue things.
