Blue is the waves in the ocean crashing against the shore.

Blue is the feeling I get sometimes when I’m sad.

Blue is the icy color of glacial snow.Blue smells like freshly washed bed

sheets.Blue tastes like blueberry Kool-Aid.

Blue sounds like jets soaring through the clouds.

Blue looks like the clear waters of the Hawaiian waters as I’m snorkeling.Blue feels like the snow on my face

while I’m skiing at Mt. Bachelor.Blue makes me want to put on my coat,

hat and gloves.Blue is my brother’s favorite color.
