    I respectfully disagree with the title..it was the title that brought me in. I wondered WHAT is blue like the sky? It was in the life section so it made it even more intriguing for me :)

    I think this is a gorgeous piece of writing. I love your formed poetry, you have a way of packing so much into so little. The emotion here is strong and made me think of my Grandma. She passed away in 2007 and I miss her like crazy, and this made me smile in her name :) I loved this.

    We always find comfort in the familiar, and I think you nailed this piece dead on :)

    Aww I love it... The structure is short, and you wrote such a sweet poem. I love the meaning and you've said a lot with a few words. Great job!

    Eli, this is amazing, it was a very very heartfelt poem.
    The word choice was simple, but the form of the word was very deep, and the images you drew were just incredibly touchy!

    I loved it a lot, well done//
