The Giddy Sound of Yellow

The slow happy sigh of a smile,
The lazy eyes as they squint;
The brightness of belly laughter,
A scream as you land in the pool;

It warms you up and makes you squeal;
It's the sound of a road trip 
with the windows down and the music up;

Smacking your lips a bottle of 
ice cold lemonade;
It's the sound of the ocean as 
you lie in a hammock, 
The giddy sound of Yellow.

Hi Melania, and welcome! I enjoyed this poem in the use of the color yellow which is my favorite color. If you like you can check out my post and look for "Affinity to yellow" Let me know what you think. Keep on writing!
