Yellows.
Like a silk-veined yellow scarf
mist hangs today in the harbour.
As leaves turn yellows to brown
Autumn chill sends temperature down.
As boats load hay's yellow bales
harvest is welcome as summer fades.
As sky-yellow catches my eye
the wisdom of elder-forecast applies.
Like a yellow mackintosh
fog will cover these clifftops tomorrow.

- Comment from author about the poem: So many old fisherfolk tales of what weather is doing and what sky-signs to look for have more than a nugget of truth - -hope you enjoy my take on the subject.

Yellow – one of my favourite c……s. Seriously – a high performance touring bicycle I ordered and rode around parts of England many years ago was bright daffodil yellow. I wandered lonely as a…no, may have been done before..
Avoided using the ‘c’ word didn’t you..too controversial?
Fresh and easy on my eye here, your piece.
Good write Fay.
Summer is so short isn't if Fay. We still have more than a month of it and yet Autumn already seems "in the air". Loved this.
took me back to past holidays
in the west country
so many wonderful walking paths
unassuming hidden beaches
and breath-taking hilltop views,
this is the best few weeks to view
the true wondrous nature of our beloved blighty
so many contrasting colours..
love your first line, a truly romantic depiction
'Like a silk-veined yellow scarf
mist hangs today in the harbour.'
such a wonderful read, dear Fay
That yellow hue proves the sun is shining somewhere. I remember one morning arriving at the top of broadway hill and as i drove down there was a noticeable band of brown mist suspended above the vale of Evesham. That was in the 80's before we attempted to stop the pollution, not quickly enough I hear one and all say.
Confronted with daily news about pollution and global warming how refreshing to read your poetry today and envisage such a lovely view. I ache to sit quietly and take in such atmosphere..... methinks i have a wait ahead though.
We are blessed with he most amazing season changes in this country Fay and your poem today captures the emotion it stirs wonderfully thank you much enjoyed
Lovely! I never thought of a yellow sky, more as golden or lavender! Even periwinkle!
Nice to read your words as always dear Fay
