A Yellow Wind Blew

...I love the color Yellow...

A Yellow Wind Blew

(Note: this poem was inspired by Ana Papaya’s poem

Yellow Girl written last week. Thank you Ana for your poetry.)

 

There is a girl

sitting out on this road

while dirt and dust is blown

by a summer’s wind.

As the dust settles,

she scribes her words into poems,

singing them into syllables

nouns and verbs

all colored in shades of yellow;

her poetry is yellow.

Words the colors of the sun

are woven into stars,

into Chopin’s etudes

music that shines

just for you.

They are yellow

and she belongs to the wind,

     to the howl,

to the poet’s hands.

~~~

There is this girl,

her poems are sometimes read

at ocean’s edge

where everything drops from sight.

But these words

     and her voice continues

past horizon’s infinity

     and into the night

cause she speaks them Yellow.

The ancient language

of no words

     when colors were alive

in the universe.

~~~

There is this girl

sitting in the road

writing her poems in the dust,

she is alive;

     she is Yellow.

I really like the girl in this poem, I can relate to her.
A beautiful poem and I'm very happy it was one of mine that inspired this. That is the ultimate compliment in poetry. Thank you. And yeah, Coldplay. Can't go wrong with that one! :)

"look at the stars, see how the shine for you"... it was fun to write this one Ana, it really pretty much wrote itself, since it is your poetry that sung the tune... and like those stars, it was Yellow!!! really happy you liked the poem...
