Yellow

A yellow hibiscus invites a butterfly To taste its sweet treasure A honeybee buzzing by Stops for a taste of nectar at its leisure Daffodils adorned in gold Begin a breezy flash dance As a song bird's tune takes hold While in the meadow they prance A sunflower's gaze follows the sun As its ray petals glow From sunrise till day is done It is the star in a flowery show 5-7-2023 Writing Challenge - 'Y 'Words - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

"Daffodils adorned in gold begin a breezy flash dance." I like this thought very much, and I can see this image in my mind. Out of all the beautiful flowers you've listed, this one is my favorite. Your thoughts bring a smile, Joseph. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Oh so beautiful! Hibiscus is one of a favorite to most of the pacific islanders. Next to plumeria. And your yellow poem is stunning. All the best, Joseph :)
