Poetry Jam: Yellow

This weeks poetry jam challenge is to write about a poem about color. Here's my take on yellow:

Yellow

Yellow is daffodil,

daisy eye,

a dandelion picked in childhood spring,

forsythia

and the tall rag of golden rod.

Yellow is the sallow skin of age,

parchment worn diaphanous,

old words on paper left

to dry inside of books;

kitchens

warm with baking bread.

Yellow is the midday sun

yoke centered in albumen.

Primary,

strong and soft, it mixes

with the blue of sky

and becomes green

like grass

like hope.
