Notes About The Poem

Flaxen Haired Lady Yellow Contest

Her world is as radiant as the sun,
golden as dandelions that cover
the fields and hillsides in springtime,
or the sunny faced jonquils and daffodils.

I see that you've expanded on a shorter poem ... well done on elaborating the thoughts into an even more yellow wonderland.

Why am I thinking about blondes? This is really about having a sunny disposition. Of course, we all know that there is no such thing as real yellow. We only have blue, red and green receptors in our eyes. Yellow happens as a figment of the imaginative brain when we get input from the red and green receptors without any blue. What does this mean and does it really matter? The next time I see a blonde, will I be thinking her hair is red with some green mixed in?

I am a redhead with some gold mixed in. Thank you for you interesting comment Duke. I had fun writing this poem, but this is only the first four lines. I posted the rest of the poem same title #2 ; )

Yes,The Maid with Flaxen Hair. Is it Debussy? I love the piece and I love your poem. Heifetz made a w0nderful arrangement for violin. You really get the sun into this one. Love, daver

This is the shortened version Daver. I wrote a much longer one for the contest before I realised it had to be only four lines. I posted the longer version as Flaxen Haired Lady 2. Thank you Daver. Love, Connie Love,

I did not make it into this one on time. I had the freaking poem written but figured I could post it in the morning. Woke up and the contest had closed. So I got Orange in extra early. LOVE this picture, Connie. I did one very similar to yours, talking about sun and flowers (won't post it in case another yellow contest comes along). Congrats on a great win.

You will find a place for it Andrea. I enjoy writing about colors. I missed the red one and it was haiku. Wish I could have entered that one.Thank you Andrea. There were some really beautiful yellow poems in this contest. ; )
