I am plummeting deep, deep down
into a field of yellow
There are blooms galore
Delicate wisps of buds and petals
encompassed by leafy blades of green
My worries slumber as
yellow-on-yellow, yellow-on-white
and more yellows surround my senses
Never enough yellow to fit the bill
my body relaxes, my mind is still
Crayola's unmellow yellow
fluorescent yellow and laser lemon
named after the fruit
cross my mind
But varieties of yellow in different hues and chroma
intrigue me and I find
that the "summer of love" mellow yellow
or possibly
Royal yellow worn by the Emperor of China
are superior....but both compel
and dreams will ensue
Softly, tenderly, I am caressed by this yellow that
enchants me
I dream of daisies with pink centers and
rosy florals with chartreuse stems
A few steps taken and I walk into
a minefield of yellow poppies
They are outrageously lovely
Olive-gray fern-like stems
ascending into a floral frenzy
Polite and well spoken gargantuan bouquets
Stunned and dazed by their alluring deliciousness
I stand amazed, mesmerized by these enormous
and lush yellow poppies that easily
dazzle with their grace
Oh, where was I when my
delicate yellow flowers in the field
married my lemon yellow poppies
as they ascended the garden wall ?
It is true...I am enchanted by yellow
But my body is weary
And the garden gates must close now
As I take my pillow and
sprawl across that secret place
I go to the land
where poppies and daisies grow
and all things yellow reside
In this secret garden, this enchanted place
I will climb into my Yellow bed....
where I dream of daisies and poppies
and Yellow never ends
Goodnight !!

- Comment from author about the poem: Hopefully the reader will be able to ascertain where I am in my "Yellow world", as this flowery and delicate poem is written both in earnest, and in jest. Simply put....for the sake of all, the flowery carpet world to which I refer is my lovely Yellow floral bedspread, and my shower curtain printed with lush yellow poppies ! Writing Yellow brought a smile to my face ! Thank you for reading it

Good write Jane.
Thank you for another wonderful comment from you today !
Delighted to have caught your verse of all things yellow and poemed with such linguistic ability has left me watching for that happy shade as my today begins. Thanking you Jane for the smile the read gave me and looking forward to reading more of your work here on MPS.
Thank you, Fay. Have a wonderful day ! It is only 4:00 a.m. here in the U.S., so my day has just begun
Wow the imagery was really vivid in this poem! I enjoyed your artistic use of certain words and the neologisms that you incorporated like "yellow-on-yellow." It real helps to portray your message and I adored this Yellow World that you painted. Bravo! 💛💛💛
Thank you. This poem was written in stark contrast to my more serious poems, such as" Craving my Lover '." I had fun writing this as I stretched my wings and used a compilation of words that were out of my comfort zone ! Certainly all of us have a bit of happiness inside of us ! I don't think anyone has ever given me a compliment in my whole life using the word "bravo" ! So thanks....that word will remain in my head today ! I appreciate your comment !
Such a lovely bright poem to read!
Thank you Rozina! My feelings run deep and I tend to live my life on the serious side, so this poem was a nice break for me. I was having a good day. I am new on the site, and am anxious to read your work
I love this ! It made me smile .. great use of words ! 🙂
