Yellow
The sun.
The big beautiful star
that brightens your day.
The Coldplay song
that Dad used to sing.
The yellow jacket that’s
feared because of its sting.
But no more fear
the sunrise is ahead.
Enjoy the taste
of lemonade
that will cause a
tickle of the tongue.
And that useless banana peel
in the street-
it might just cause
the taxi to change direction
right down the
yellow brick road.
