BLUE

 

Blue is hearing waves lapping the shore,

blue is a white cotton ball cloud

 

dangling from a sheet of silk.

It's like biting a blueberry

 

with juice running down your cheek

or of cold water running

 

down along your body

in the heat of the sun.

 

Blue is the scent of peppermint

boiling with chocolate.

 

That is what blue is.

YELLOW

 

Saffron saturated sauce

dripping from a plate of curry.

 

Golden hued light in the last hours

of lazy summer afternoons.

 

Dandelions in ditches

lining muddy roads in spring.

 

Circular faces of sunflowers

saluting a dawning day.

 

Mustard tang on tongue

Or tart lemon squeeze.

 

Yellow.
