Butterflies and Bumblebees

butterflies and bumblebees 
egg yolks on toast 
mustard fields and pots of gold 
sunflower seeds to roast 

ringlets fall lightly 
from a little girl so fair 
ornaments of golden wings 
fall softly from her hair
  
banana peels to slip and fall 
that would be no fun
dreaming of yellow submarines
happy face from the sun 
 
yellow is for warmth 
on a cold and windy day 
yellow through your window pane
helps sunshine come your way

Hi Betty, this is lovely. When i read it i can almost feel the warming light of spring... with remenants of a cold winter still lurking. That is quite an achievement considering i live in the hot hot tropics. Lovely to feel fresh and cool...cheers Huberta
