Theme in Yellow: Original Poems by Wild Rose Reader



I was thinking about bright sunshine and warm spring weather this morning. Then I got the idea to look through the poems I’ve written and see how many had a springy yellow theme. Here’s what I found:




TASTING THE SUN

Shower in the April sun
Shower in the light,
Streaming down on yellow days.
Stand out in the pouring rays.

Like butter on a toasty bun,
Let the sunlight melt and run
In golden rivers on your skin.
Feel it glowing deep within.
Feel the touch of early spring,
Feel the warmth that April brings.

Shower in the pouring rays
Streaming down on yellow days.



SPRING SINGS

Spring sings with yellow—
Daffodils trumpet the color in a world growing green
Forsythias bushes explode into golden clouds
Dandelions light our lawn like little suns
Daisies flaunt their pollen-powdered faces…
Everywhere I look
Yellow is singing out its bright song.



DAFFODILS

Daffodils…
dipped in sunlight,
dusted with gold—
brassy blossoms
trumpeting their color
in April gardens

FORSYTHIAS

One morning
they unexpectedly
burst into bloom
and sprouted gold.
April used her Midas touch
and turned a gray day
into a surprise celebration
for spring.

FORSYTHIA

Sun rubs resting earth

With warm yellow hands…coaxes

Forth petals of gold

DANDELION

A feathered sun

growing in a sky of green,

its spiky corona radiating gold—

one bright star

lighting up our lawn

Powder
Of life. Yellow…
Like lantern light,
Like butter on bread, like the yolk of an
Egg, like a nugget of gold…or a
New star born of cosmic dust.

Day’s eye, wide

Awake, standing

In a meadow

Staring at the sky—its bright

Yellow face turned toward the sun.
