Holding Yellow
I embrace yellow
in my palm
soft sunshine
silky dandelion
yellow is smooth
like buttercups
—
Blue washed
with cool frost
and icy sadness
no stars tickling
the firmament
blue is arrogant
with taut chin
hard lips
blue dreams
of ocean depths
far away
far away.
The contrast between the warm yellow and the blue is very effective
Thank you, Bjorn!
I liked the preference for yellow over blue. Blue does seem icy with ocean depths.
Thank you, Frank. I really appreciate your reading. 🙂
Beautiful!
Wonderful descriptions. I especially like..
“no stars tickling the firmament”
Blue can be a bit pretentious and obvious…and perhaps we forget how warm yellow can be. Love the contrasts here. Thanks for joining in with the prompt. 🙂
What lovely thoughts. Thank you so much for reading! 🙂
no stars tickling the firmament… is such an incredible image!
Thank you. I appreciate your reading!
