Write a poem about it using the word BLUE.

Poetry reveals itself to us in different ways. I analyzed love this week since it was Valentine’s Day. #poetrysky #writersky

Valentine’s Day can sometimes be a challenge but it important to know and understand who you are. This poem started as a quote I saw on social media, but it became a bio poem of me. #poetrysky #poetrycommunity #love #writersky

Happy Valentine’s Day!! ❤️🥰😘😍
