I am the first thought flowing to paper as the poet sees the yellow of a morning sky outside I am the first breath as a night of slumber ends and rejuvenation leaps to inspiration for the new

Release
I'm sitting down in Obi's field as the vice across my chest has returned with bitter vengeance so I really need the rest I've found a lovely spot though by the fence amongst the yellow where I can sit and watch the running of the happy fellow And breathing deep the Sussex air I feel the vice break free releasing all the pressure that this asthma brings to me

Biding Time
In the grass getting greener there are dandelions hiding getting bolder with yellow but time still abiding because here just in April the warmth's still a tease so they need something more to be fully at ease

Daffodil
Twelve scribings revisited; Part 2 in the Jemverse ‘Malleable Days’ series
I think that if there’s one thing to remind me of the Spring It is the humble daffodil and the pleasure it will bring It’s all about the yellow Bringing warmth sealed by the sun and it’s something of the promise at shadow’s end with light begun From the monochrome of winter the brightest colour for a while The bright but humble daffodil is sure to bring a smile

Small yellow II

Small yellow in my garden at the bottom in the sun caught my eye this morning now the winter time is done I don't what its name is but it grows here every year yellow in Spring sunshine so for me has purpose clear It's there to play a rhythm to accompany the song that rises with crescendo to play all summer long

First of April here for fools yet no prank here but truth for this is now the time of Spring when nature shows its youth There's evidence of that all around with bluebells in the grass and the yellow of forsythia as winter breathes its last And I for one I welcome this fresh nuance of the year as sunshine bears its testament for days of warmth and cheer

Awaking
There is sunshine today and I think at long last the Spring has awoken from slumber as forsythia yellow like a jolly good fellow has blooms on its limbs in good number

Waiting still
The sun broke through another day and found me waiting here lacklustre in this winter frame awaiting Springtime cheer Frustrating as despite the chill the signs are evident with green shoots reaching skyward colour shows its good intent and yet this lingering chill remains as sunshine's yellow rays have yet to seize a hold and bring a start to warmer days

One VII
7 of 12 in the Jemverse series ’12 months V’
First of March and in mind's eye spring begins with early sigh as green shoots winter's chill decry and yellow makes a stand First of March the grass grows long and blackbirds burst to morning song as buds burst forth in happy throng and yellow shows its hand First of March the sun shines high reaching up into the sky replacing truth from winter's lie and yellow comes as planned

Yellowing glow
From my window up high and out to the east the glow of the morning was a visual feast Yellowing there with the sun yet to rise the blues and the pinks hid little surprise as I knew that in store was a beautiful day from this yellowing glow and this lovely display

Little yellow
Little yellow very lovely dainty in the sun at the bottom of my garden now the summer has begun It catches my attention every time I pass it by and it's so very gorgeous that it brings a tear to eye Tears of joy lest you should worry for that's what yellows bring the colour of the sunshine and 'cos yellow is my thing
