My Favorite Color
"You're dripping yellow all over the floor"
Sunflower petals that led through the door...
Back to a March that went in like a lion
That lion persisted, the March was quite sullen
The words of dead poets pervaded my soul
My senses awakened, I heeded their call
Life is a bitter sweet and melancholy song
Akin to a lemon-drop melting on the tongue
I was dismissive at first of my love for this color
The more I gazed upon it, I succumbed to its vigor
Determined and radiant through the harshest of showers
So happy in my raincoat the color of sunflowers

So fresh I can feel clean spring air when I read this. I'm hooked on your poetry.

Yellow has always left me awash in peace. Drive to work in the spring through mountains blazing with yellow and orange flowers. Nothing quite like it.
