Listen to a primal scream.

YELLOW

shouts itself triumphantly
from the vibrant sunflower,
boldly challenging the almighty Sun
for power and glory,
then reluctantly casts
its brilliance aside
to become
earthy
rich

BROWN

as it falls down
from its throne,
another transient
of planet earth.

*
Thanks Donna, Gentle Spirit, for the inspiration!

An invincible summer.

hehe, thanks Nancy, it was fun to do this, a good challenge for me, as I rarely post in anything other than the standard navy blue

i see the yellow dandelions
shouting as they are
birthing from the brown earthwomb
then returning to her when they
have reached the season's ascention
