Yellow Words

Yellow Words—Used 10 times in the poem Under the warm yellow sun floating on the calm Yellow Sea fishing for the sweet tasting yellow fin tuna. My mouth waters at the thought of tuna steaks slathered in spicy yellow mustard while my old yellow lab snoozing on my bright yellow rain slicker will have his share covered in a yellow egg yolk sauce. I tie the yellow lure to the leader anticipating a rugged fight with the ferocious tuna. A wayward yellow canary, blown to sea by the wind, lands on my cabin roof. Perhaps I will have good luck. I wear my yellow tinted sunglasses and look to starboard as I prepare to stalk the elusive tuna.

Yellow is my favourite song by Coldplay, especially played in the dark of night. Love the poem and how you used the word yellow ten times… Beryl

Beautiful. I don't know why but I saw myself on the Hawaiian sea. Blue and majestic.
