The Unrepeatable Moment Poetry Contest. Sponsored by Daniel Henry Rodgers
"Yellow is a bright and fun color to enjoy." By Poet My husband and I met, many years ago. After writing weeks of letters, he was coming to visit me for a few days. Yellow was my then boyfriend's favorite color, I was going to be a fun surprise for him. The engines of the airplanes roared, just like my nervous stomach. I was dressed in all yellow from head to toe, looking like a big bee with a huge smile. When he got off the airplane, he said, "you look breathless." Then we both laughed until we cried, I may have looked stupid but he loved it. I chose this moment because it set the stage for our life together. He was coming to see me. We had first met a few weeks before. I wanted to impress him. Knowing yellow was his favorite color, I knew I would be in yellow. I went to many stores finding yellow from a head scarf to shoes. Every line was easy to write because it was a fun part of our life. I removed the part about him staying with my girlfriend and her husband because it was not about yellow or the airport. To this day, we still laugh about this airport meeting.
