On Yellow Yellow is primary, The burning center of our star, Sunlight on your head, Warmth to bones, Smiles. Yellow is golden, Like sunflowers laughing Along a Kansas highway Talking back to the sun. Yellow likes green. It etches bright the leaves Of ginger plants, Finds red to glorify a sunset. Yellow is subtle, Like in shafts of light After storm, In cream and tapioca pudding. Yellow is candle glow Recalling the feeling Of wearing yellow gingham And your first kiss. Yellow is silent. Is holy, Shining down through night shades From the moon.

Franni~ This is absolutely beautiful with the softness of the shades of yellow.  'Yellow is golden, Like sunflowers laughing Along a Kansas highway Talking back to the sun.' Perfect images of yellow. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I really enjoyed this, Franni! I could FEEL the yellow... loved these lines, especially, "Yellow is subtle, Like in shafts of light After storm, In cream and tapioca pudding." Your talent is yellow, shining through on an Easter day! Post MORE!!! |

When I saw your name, I was anxious to read your poem, but waited til a moment of silence after all the children and grandchildren have left, and now in this moment of silence I read your lovely poem, and it was well worth the wait. So nice to see you posting Love Liz |
