Yellow

"Smiles are free so give them away." By Poet That weekend started with a simple, smile and hello. A double date on Saturday, another one on Sunday. Then he was on his way, would I ever see him again. He wrote to me, I answered back with perfumed stationary. A special letter came, he wanted to see me again. I wrote back when, soon was his reply. He bought his ticket, my girlfriend said he could stay with them. We counted the days, they went by at a snails pace. Then I found myself at the airport, come on plane where are you. When he walked in, he found me dressed in his favorite color. I was wearing yellow, from my head to my toes.

Such a wonderful poem to share your unforgettable dating experience highlighted by your favorite color my dear poet friend. I enjoyed reading this. I can imagine you wearing yellow all over. You're so gorgeous. Yellow is also my favorite now because we're always asked to wear yellow uniform in school. Before was blue. Thanks a lot for sharing your well-crafte poem my dear friend. Good luck in the contest. God bless you always and your writings. Hugs
