It’s Blue Tuesday over at the dVerse Poets Pub, hosted by Sarahsouthwest.
“So tonight, let’s write blue. A splash of blue, an ocean of blue, a shimmer of blue. Gaze into the distance, or look down at the sapphire on your finger. Take us to the Blue Ridge Mountains or the Blue Lagoon. Hand me a Blue Monday cocktail, slap some blues on the jukebox and let’s poem.”
Navy blue jumper:
Catholic school uniform.
Thou shalt not stand out!
Nuns rebuked unique.
Individuality
Thou shalt be alike!
….and a legion of little Catholic girls had to learn individuality in spite of the nuns!
It never worked too well, as far as I could tell from my Catholic School friends…(K)
Most British school had navy blue jumpers when I was at school – it has got more colourful since. But navy blue jumpers and skirts do bring back my school days, as did your poem, Susan!
It’s such a cute picture though! Like Kim says, British schools all have uniforms: I hated being forced to conform, and have been rebelling against it ever since. I do think my kids would look cute in school uniform though…
Gawd, my grade school days at Assumption Parish just came roaring back to freak me out.
Ergo, the Ogre
