I Am YellowI am a butter cup
From which you can drink
Perhaps I’m the sun
that makes you blink
Even when I’m blue
Inside I am yellow
After all my friend
I’m perfectly mellow

Tweety
"I tawt I taw a puddy tat !
I did, I did taw a puddy tat ! "
A yellow canary character with a large head called Tweety,
blue eyes, long lashes, no arms, big orange feet, a real sweetie.
In his gilded cage he sings songs in his high-pitched squeaky voice,
he is well travelled, loves adventure, and with...

yellow raincoat Your yellow rain-coat,
dripping of hair
comfort of hoodie
and scent
of nice
but cheap
perfume I love.
It's an aroma
to your skin
I'm so in love with.
Are they tears of joy
upon the splash
of water or salt
near your eyes.
I'm wrapped
in every
conversation
I have with you. ...

double yellow linesDouble yellow lines
I sit inside a massive fog of nothingness
plays on my imaginary piano using one finger
a ditty, sun outside, sun inside, sun only sun
I feel massively and supremely untalented
Now that the amalgamation of writers, poets
dancers, trampoline ladies, and painters that
lived inside of me, has turned into a block
immovable zero
I look at a black...

Colours PrimeI live my life through colours prime
through colours, colours, colours prime.
Can change their shades at any time
can change them as I age.
Beginning with the whitest page
the whitest, whitest, whitest page.
My youth was with me at this stage
my youth with colours bright.
The mix back then was blended right
was blended, blended, blended right.
These shades remained within my...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yellow stars are quickly receding, as I’ve always known they would.
Yellow is the sun touching the eastern sky adding color to the neighborhood.
Yellow is the warmth of mellow sunshine, mid woodland songs and cries.
Yellow is the egg yolk and buttery toast I eat on the porch watching butterflies.
Yellow is the morning of marigolds and...

When Yellow Flower Was Dyed Orange Then RedIn this summer month of her what would have been her 21st birthday,
I see bed of withering red orange tiger lilies and say,
"Your death reddened you, yellow flower, into an orange, then red."...

Look I Am Popping Away
I love when we sit in the hot bright sun,
add some butter or we will get well done.
Sky and water of ice blue,
better than the dull store view.
Oh! look I am popping so I will run....

The Lost CanaryThere was a carney, I knew as Larry.
He lived with a knife thrower, named Sherry.
Sherry loved her yellow canary,
and trusted its care while gone to Barry.
While she was gone, the bird somehow got free.
He looked everywhere, where could that bird be?
His eyes looked up as he dropped to one knee,
and prayed for help to find...

Dandelion Dreams
the dandelion weeps
as a summer sun melts away
each dewdrop,
reflecting the morning
winds resolving to accompany
the hesitant chirps,
songs of hope, of grace
feelings whispering
to the weeds…
never will my heart forget
the dandelion’s tears
as she remembers the spring
and her first encouraging
petals, the glow of light
on the dawn
as she realizes her time
is here, she is born
blessed by buttery buds
and healing...

a yellow silk scarfA Yellow silk scarf
He bought a yellow silk scarf at a second-hand shop
In Cheshire, the type actors were, when meeting for
A drinks party; the mirror told me he wore the scarf
With seedy elegance, which normally comes to those
Who has no self-awareness, better still, ignores what
Other people think.
In Ashdod, someone broke into his cabin, the thief...
