Yellow: 10 Ways

1. Faraway star

fingers of light

reaching across galaxies

to warm and bronze

shoulders and noses

2.  Sharp, astringent, fragrant

 squeezed, zested, sliced

 juice used a million ways

3. Tall, white-feathered low-tide visitors

stomping and stirring

salty pools

with canary-yellow feet

4. Spread on morning toast

sunshine on bread

melty, salty

tastes like a hug

5. Warning: slow down

middle light

triangular sign

pay attention: time for caution!

6. Dip-dyed for Easter, ready for the bunny

Crack!

out pops a downy feathered

chick

7. Springtime harbingers

blossoming, towering

sprinkling the yellow-magic

of hope

over the world

8. Pop, pop, pop

kernels burst

flavoring the air

with scents

of summer

9. Pollinators flit from flower to flower

dressed in yellow and black

inviting new blossoms 

to dance

in the silky springtime breezes

10. I scritch and scratch words across

the blank page with

Traditional #2

searching and seeking

until I uncover

the secret of where 

all the yellow poems hide
