Sun Squeezed Yellow

Paint me a day with lemon squeezed yellow Lime green meadows beneath bluebell skies mellow Brush in the shoots of daffodils sunny blooms delegating room for a robins red belly plumes Stroke in this scene daisies white with sunny smiles altering this trial of winter’s cold, but for awhile © Debra Squyres 2/3/14

Yellow, How you doin'? Hope the weather's better down there. We've bout' had enough of this @#&^$ up here. Sorry bout' that. :):):) I'll tell you a story. Had to blow the driveway into the alley, the alley onto the neighbors yard and then blow the neighbors yard so he can park his stupid truck on it. :) But I digress. :):):) Evidently more is coming. Have a lovely day Debra. Peace. :) Await a new one.

Hi Debra, first, did you typo stroke? Now let me seeeee. :) A winters dream of of the color yellow. Forgive me for being kind of a crass little fellow. :) If you catch my drift. :) Spring time can't come soon enough. Nice to join you in this sunny dream. Peace. :)

Well stoke means to add something to intensify something else... and thought it would work in the sentence and poem... I think to keep with the painting theme I will change it to stroke... lol

Lemon squeezed yellow and lime green reminded me of the Seahawks. Pretty poem with good description and rhyming.
