Blue Poem Analysis

In my poem titled "Blue", I tried to get across my thought that blue is a symbol for life. I try to do this by using the lack of structure, and the use of detail, diction, and figurative language. I use these all to help my readers get a better understanding of what I want them to think.

In my poem, I use structure, or the lack thereof, to emphasize my thought that blue is a symbol for life. The structure of my poem is a free verse poem, with six stanzas, five lines each.
