- Yellow Boots Sing -

A long time ago A little boy - he was only three Blue eyes and hair white like snow The sun was his playmate The rain was his enemy Drip, drip wet and cold He asked for YELLOW boots Yellow boots wondered his mom and dad Boys use blue or black boots No - YELLOW they had to be The boy in just three years got new YELLOW boots First rainy day the boy was ready Drip, drip wet and cold YELLOW boots are singing - they will sing the sun back Under his big black umbrella the boy goes with his singing YELLOW boots This little boy was my brother * " - A true YELLOW song - " Sponsor: Monterey Sirak Contest Name:THE SOUND OF COLOR Deadline 12/15/2013 12:00:00 AM 20.11.2013 A-L Andresen :)

I like that poem a lot, it delighted me. It also could be a companion piece to my poem "Walking in the Wet woods" Briefly you entered the world of childhood and for a moment i experienced being a child again. Thank you

That reminds me of a little boy in a yellow rain jacket and yellow boots that I saw a while back who was acting as a school crossing guard. They are all so cute, aren't they when they are young? Maybe there is something with yellow boots that tickle their fancy :). Enjoyed your write, my friend Anne-Lise. Are you going to celebrate Thanksgiving with us?

Splendid and adequate for a sound mind. This gave me more light to my soul and has stimulated a self- expression from me, serving as the fuel to my outburst.
