Yellow

I gaze at a saffron sunset as a tawny owl sails overhead, while yellow sunflowers feel threat until evening prayers are said. The flaxen fields and amber plains reflect the xanthous of fading sun. A copse of vivid ocher trees wanes awaiting a primrose moon to stun. Canary daisies soundly sleep and dream beside a citrine lake while glorious goldenrods peep gaily as fallow bucks’ antlers shake. Mary’s marigolds shine their best, a nankeen horizon fails to arrest. Soon the sun will propose its rest and slip below the mountain’s crest.

Oh, I've written plenty, but still without internet. I'll catch up with posting and with communication as time allows and I can get connected. I'm glad you enjoyed this one Svvie. I rather like it myself.
