Blue Monday: Grit
The gritty backside of Historic Downtown Yuma, Arizona.
The sky, not the wall, is clear blue.
The wall is redbrick (as you knew);
No window in sight
To let in the light—
Forget about rooms with a view!

Blue Monday: Tools
Gardening tools at Micke Grove Regional Park, Lodi, California.
The gardener lays down his tools,
‘Cause working, he thinks, is for fools.
The longer his breaks,
The less cash he makes—
He’s willing to play by those rules.

The Collector
A man who collected rare stamps
Abjured them in favor of lamps.
Along with bent spoons
And old Celtic runes,
He also collected C-clamps!

Blue Monday: Mottled Sky
Clouds mottle a blue sky in Yuma County, Arizona.
Whenever I see a blue sky,
I let out a lengthy, loud sigh.
My friend, the old crow,
Likes blue skies also—
We’re birds of a feather, that’s why!

Blue Monday: Graveyard Blues
A decorated headstone at Yuma Pioneer Cemetery, Yuma, Arizona.
A graveyard without some bright blue
Is dismal and dingy to view.
So bring on the paint,
I’m sure you won’t faint
By splashing around the bright hue!

Blue Monday: Photographer
A photographer takes aim on the courthouse lawn in Prescott, Arizona.
Beyond the photographer’s head
Are traces of blue, green, and red—
A colorful sight
That’s sure to delight
The person who isn’t yet dead!

Blue Monday: Hints of Blue
Hints of blue appear in a cloudy sky, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Southern Arizona.
A heaven with hints of sky blue
Appears to be welcoming you
To this desert land,
Where vistas are grand—
Come out and enjoy the great view!

Blue Monday: Stone
A decorated stone delights visitors who happen to spot it at Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
A little stone painted in blue
Can make me start grinning—it’s true!
It’s such a delight
To see something bright,
Especially if it’s bright blue!

Blue Monday: Hanging Heart
A painting by Velma adds a decorative touch to an Airbnb in Yuma, Arizona.
You hung out my heart, love, to dry.
I’m sure that I’ll never know why,
So I’m moving on,
By noon I’ll be gone—
I’m not even saying goodbye.

Blue Monday: Hammer
A worker wields a hammer in this detail from a mural, Prescott Public Library, Prescott, Arizona.
The hammer comes down with a crash!
Watch out, worker, and do not smash
Your fingers or toes,
For everyone knows
You can’t buy replacements with cash.
