A sky shade
Showing boyhood
Into military darkness
And sea.
Author notes
I didn't know if you were allowed to name the colour at all (like in these comments and in the title etc) so I've left it out. If you want to know what it is, please ask me to put it in the authors comments or where you want

Blue...right?
I don't think you needed to put the name of the color in the author's notes, though. I think the reader can get the idea of what color you're writing about just by the words you use in the poem, especially with the parts of the boyhood, sky and sea. Good write. Good luck in the contest.
