The letter is I, for INDIGO
Indigo
by Barbara Strang
To achieve the
desired blue
the cloth had to
be lifted in
and out of the vats
in the heat
of India, Nigeria,
or Thailand.
Indigo, - you used
to wear that deep-dyed hue,
it suited you.
The name for the
spectral blue-violet.
Indigo
as blue as
deep as your eyes,
the lashes a flight of geese
on the last stripe of blue as the
sky plunges towards night.
More I s here at ABC Wednesday
with thanks to all who maintain this meme!

I was wondering how indigo was made the other day. I love the depth of its hue. Your photo and poem are awesome.
Beautiful words Hildred and it is a colour I love anyway.
I love Mood Indigo
