Look I Am Popping Away
I love when we sit in the hot bright sun,
add some butter or we will get well done.
Sky and water of ice blue,
better than the dull store view.
Oh! look I am popping so I will run....

The Lost CanaryThere was a carney, I knew as Larry.
He lived with a knife thrower, named Sherry.
Sherry loved her yellow canary,
and trusted its care while gone to Barry.
While she was gone, the bird somehow got free.
He looked everywhere, where could that bird be?
His eyes looked up as he dropped to one knee,
and prayed for help to find...

Dandelion Dreams
the dandelion weeps
as a summer sun melts away
each dewdrop,
reflecting the morning
winds resolving to accompany
the hesitant chirps,
songs of hope, of grace
feelings whispering
to the weeds…
never will my heart forget
the dandelion’s tears
as she remembers the spring
and her first encouraging
petals, the glow of light
on the dawn
as she realizes her time
is here, she is born
blessed by buttery buds
and healing...

a yellow silk scarfA Yellow silk scarf
He bought a yellow silk scarf at a second-hand shop
In Cheshire, the type actors were, when meeting for
A drinks party; the mirror told me he wore the scarf
With seedy elegance, which normally comes to those
Who has no self-awareness, better still, ignores what
Other people think.
In Ashdod, someone broke into his cabin, the thief...

I Saw A WomanI saw a woman standing there
Her clothes tattered and torn
I saw a woman standing there
Her face looked so forlorn
A women full of worry lines
Grey streaks throughout her hair
A tear was rolling down her cheek
But she was unaware
Life had been hard, bitterly cruel
Her dreams taken away
And yet she’d fought with all her might
To face...

Up To Speed
In a race on the savannah
fleet of foot is the cheetah
at up to 75 mph
no animal can beat her
and with a top speed of 50 mph
lion is the second fastest cat
tho' at
38 mph a leopard can't change its spots
the lion can do that
cubs are born with them and later lose
to become lion spots have-nots
an ostrich...

do you love yellowBees, dear bees
Prefer the yellow,
Don’t ask me
Why!
Yellow attracts you
More than the blue,
Yellow makes them tender
More than red,
The yellow excites them,
Less than mauve,
Bees are amazing,
Dear bees,
They prefer yellow,
It is the color of honey,
They prefer yellow, the sun,
It is the color of sunflower,
Ah really, dear bees,
You are obsessed,
You only think about it, like me,
Yellow makes you happy,
It...

Crayon Box DreamsMy mind is home to millions of my dreams,
The way a box holds colorful crayons,
Little ones that are bursting at the seams,
To the biggest ones I need to pray on.
The happy ones are all shades of yellow,
And the saddest ones are colored in blue,
Even though most of my dreams are mellow,
Some dreams are so big...

Yellow A Breathless Color"Yellow is a bright and fun color to enjoy." By Poet
Yellow is my husband's favorite color,
my fun surprise was going to cost more than a dollar.
We were dating and he was coming to see me,
I was dressing in all yellow looking like a big bee.
When he got off the airplane,
he said - you look breathless...

To Karin: The 'Touch Me'It looked just like a coaster—
a membrane of soft plastic,
yellow, green and cobalt blue,
the colors swirling at your touch,
like it could feel something too.
I did not know ‘til later,
that it also reflected you.
I thought it just a trinket,
a trick of vinyl and hue,
given not with coy delight,
but offered straight and true.
It changed when touched

YellowSight
It’s the hush before sunrise breaking loose—
lemon light spilling through the slats,
a field of dandelions laughing
into the sky’s blue face.
It’s the color children use
when they draw the sun
too big for the paper,
insisting joy won’t be contained.
Sound
Yellow buzzes.
It’s the hum of bees at work,
a brass trumpet on a summer sidewalk,
laughter skipping across a kitchen,
window open,
someone singing...
