The shine of the sun, heart of the fire
For Poppy's Colour Prompt!
The shine of the sun
Yolk so sweet
The glow of the buttercup
early rise in the sky
The high-vis sign of safety
lemon and blonde
The morning dunkable toast nectar
lush like honey
The feeling of uncertainty
ochre so bright and bold
The stripes of the pollenators
welcoming the day
The heart of the fire

Thanks for reading!

The Girl At The Front Row
As I sat in my rented room thus with hardly a glimmer of light coming in from the windows and the candles, I felt transformed into a different era by the enchanting tunes of music. The sound of the needle running through the groove of the record came out as faint crackle, and for a moment, bands of feelings ran across with the strings breaking the shackles of time.

Nice work Paul! 👏😊
Every single line was honey to my ears! This is beautiful, Pal! Gorgeous descriptions and perfect entry!
Every other line. "Y-e-l-l-o-w" Very clever. Warm & sweet.
Yellow is My favorite color 🎨
Nice Opening 📝♥️👍😉
I adore this poem!! It has to be one of my new favourites of yours! I'd copy my favourite line but I think it's all of them. So well done Paul!
I'm losing my mind trying to find the acrostic! 😫 I give up. Please tell me what it is 🥺
Loved this poem… warm positive vibe!
Ooh i found the acrostic! Clever you! Love this! I am immersed in hufflepuff, lol. I wrote a yellow poem too the other day. Funny, same wavelength. I haven't posted it yet though.
