Question

what are the themes or messages in this poem

Nuclear Winter by Edward Nobles

When the sky fell, the earth turned blue.

The trees, the tenements, the cars and buses

soaked up the sky and changed from outside in, in color,

to blue. The children ran frantically in adult directions. My wife,

dressed fashionably in blue, took my hand and, with sadness

in her deep blue eyes, led me behind the house, down the long incline, and into

the woods. We waded in blue snow through blue trees.

An iridescent crow, blue, flew from a branch, and a fox

lay in our tracks, oblivious to our passing. He licked his blue fur

with melancholic eyes. The years pass very quickly with this earth.

In that time, we had two children, the son and daughter

we always dreamt of, and they knelt above us, like two granite stones,

ghostly figures praying, for the love of God, for what he had become:

a family moved by that one clear color, blue, beneath the blue snow.

Answer 1

cool poem in a way it rocks

Answer 2

Brilliant poem!

I interpret the poem to be about a depressed individual’s state of mind and world view.

What makes me think this is the way they have used the colour blue to describe things; as blue is typically used in English to describe a sad state of mind. Also the whole poem has a kind of distant, surreal, dream like nature about it, which is also reminiscent of depression.
