Yolks Slickers and Lemon Zest

yellow yolks on the kitchen floor brighten up the tile sunflower seeds glow in the sun for a country mile dandelions with their bright heads springing up all over the yard sunshine magic on my front porch enticing me to bard rain coat slicker and yellow boots shining in the rain’s little test the only thing that would make today more sweet would be a taste of lemon zest.

Such an upbeat, happy poem... You had told me that your favorite color was yellow (when I told you that my wife stared down the yellow flowers I bought her, saying they were for gravestones). And now I see how true it is. Bard on, Poet! Or should I have written, Poet on, Bard! ~ Corn-fused

All three work. Bard on Poet, Poet on Bard and Corn-fused. I am from the corn-state, just like Andrea and Brenda. All three of us were born Iowegians.

Yellow is such a happy, sunny, smiley colour and your poem has done just that, put a great big smile on my face Caren. I recently wrote a little ditty about sunflowers and they too have that same smileyness ~ delightful happy poetry ~ thank you. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

I adore yellow but ORANGE is my ultimate favorite color. And you cannot beat the 70's combination of orange, yellow and pink if you ask me.
