do you love yellow

Bees, 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 suits you so well, ah really
What a joy to be a bee
In a rape field.
Or on a simple mimosa.
On a common barbarian
Or in a lemon tree.
Like a ray of sunshine.
You’re taking my heart.

The buzz around here is, "bees love yellow." Nice poetry, Yann. We have lantana in our front flowers beds and the bees really do prefer them. Bill

Dear Yann, I love how your poem buzzes with joyful energy and a tender fascination for the humble bee’s love of yellow. I love the warmth filled with honey, the sun, the sunflower blends into a celebration of nature’s simple pleasures and the bee’s radiant obsession. Your own delight, creates a sweet, sunlit moment that feels alive and personal. Poetry can celebrate the small wonders that connect us all. Spring Blessings, My Dear Yann, Daniel

Yann, yellow is a beautiful colour, and ‘Yellow’ sung by Cold Play is one of my favourite songs ever. Congratulations on receiving the honour of poem of the week. Well deserved… Beryl

Always, your poems are interesting. I had to look for the contest of rape fields..aha. Somebody has to love bees and you surely do, as well as yellow, I think. I remember bees on rows of coneflowers in a tiny local garden.
