Yellow Poem by Susan Marie Watkins

Yellow

Rating: 5.0


Yellow is
Sharp as lemons
Clear as canary song
Pure as daffodils
That magic time just before dusk
When the world is golden as Rapunzel’s hair
A second-hand Easter dress
Too short in 1977 when I was 17
And yellow is
Glorious as the fear
of a girl on the cusp of lust

An effective poem - bright, and loose, and airy.

Beautiful and fascinating. I love the unexpected parings: Sharp as lemons, Clear as a canary song and Glorious as the fear.
