Vincent van Gogh colourist
often with yellowed orange did insist
In manic depressive mood swings
this painting* was his last fling

One day I cleaned a
bulging and over stuffed top drawer
found three keys hidden
in a yellowed envelope
marked in red ink skeletons

History written with ordinary pencil
It's easily yellowed...
But with ink blood
it's eternal!

They fade away
Cold poems
Yellowed pages
Unread
Old warriors
Cold souls
Unsheathed
Blades dulled
Forgotten
Words
Buried
In tomes

a glint of sapphire eyes
behind a veil …
the tulle has yellowed,
gems sparkle still.

Cigarette butts pressed into the ashtray.
Yellowed fingers from nicotine.
Prematurely aged face,
Wrinkled.
Squeezed inside.
No passion.
Without life.
Drown in his own misery ...

pressed flowers, held dear of someone lost
turned crisp
between yellowed pages
which have begun to stick
once beautiful
now decayed and lost once more

Downy carpet hill,
Yellowed from the sunlight daze,
Rosy-shafted beams
Drifting off to sea
begin another day,
Waspy tailed whips of clouds
seemingly write
Onto the newly wet earth.

boy with yellowed sallow skin
seams thin
have you seen him?
shaken shaky hands with him?
poured him greasy shots of gin?
sang his soulless requiem?
if you have
you won't again

Long days
Of August sun
Where nature blinks and shrinks
The dying grass,yellowed in sleep-
Held fast
as
Oat grass
Tinted old gold
Shimmers on tall green stems;
On a clear warm light of evening sun-
Back-lit

Petals of memory falling
Upon the yellowed grass
Mingled with the autumn leaves
Cool breeze sings of the past

As I came across the yellowed card
Unfolding lost fond memories
Life pages of long ago
Yearning for those I miss
The lines written there
Slowly became
Soft whispers
My eyes,
Blurred.

Hands, aged with sun
Rings grown too tight
Feet, wrinkled by walk
Eyes drooped with tire
Hair stringed with dye
Teeth yellowed with coffee
Each wrinkle
Each taint
Each sun-spot
Each grey hair
Filled with experience
And meaning

Old buttons and fragile lace gloves
Soft swinging dress and simple pearls
Residing in a wooded frame
She is only a memory
I’ve oft seen her tired solemn face
In the yellowed and worn pages
Of old family picture books
A reflection of poverty

He sits alone
paper yellowed
pencil stilled
gnarled hands
grasping
at a past
She sits alone
keyboard silenced
blue lit hands
reaching
into a future
They sit alone
together
waiting
for the touch
of poetry.

Buzzing loudly,
Is that coming from me?
Dust and filth in my shade,
Slightly cracked, was this how I was made?
My light yellowed and dim,
The chances of me getting a new light bulb are slim.
But I've been here for so long,
Everywhere else feels wrong.

purple mountains majesties
our inheritance
every word poetic
the legacy of time
regal lines written
yellowed parchments read
such support and friendship
on a site for writing and words
understanding the paths to fulfillment
partners in this quest...

Santa Claus so creepy and weird
Neon pink bathrobe, mask cracked and yellowed beard
On his left arm my dad`s clock, so strange - we feared
Mom just smile and laugh, dad in the bathroom - afterwards he reappeared

Taps will play again
Old soldiers will march
Fewer again this year
Tears will be shed
Fewer again this year
Wreaths will be placed
Fewer again this year
Heroes will fade
Their sacrifices forgotten
Hidden
In the yellowed pages
Of history

the yard’s yellowed grass
meanwhile under the shade trees. . .
vibrant wild flowers
The grass has gone dead
but in the places with shade
are pretty flowers

Life’s weariness o’ertakes me
Each step demanding more
Calling forth a shivering strength
Leaning on a rickety fencepost
Turning its face from the stinging gale
Whispers of weakness winnowing resolve
Failing flames scorching a yellowed page
Darkness seeping from an idle pen

Winter migrants arrive with welcome calls
the Indian Summer falters,and falls
Sycamore seeds twirl and twist
Onto a fairy-ring fungus tryst
Stink horn capped with slime,
As carrion beetles pass the time.
Yellowed leaves drift and decompose
into next year's cellulose.
