Mehso-so

I read all the words, I did not understand their significance when gathered. There were snippets of pretty word pictures, there were an exhaustive amount of references to blue and it's shades and items that feature blue, like sea and sky, also much mention of love and some of death, and I think mermaids. Poetry is still hit and miss for me, and this was a miss.
⚠️Vague allusion to suicide, unflattering depiction of sex worker as metaphor

?? To quote one of my favourites from CCR: "feelin' blue".
