Yellow is a color of duality, a spectrum of shades, a visceral vitality. A humorous hue, one of joy and laughter. Whether basked in the sun or a sparkling ever after. Lemon sorbet and fall leaves last dance, beauty in yellow is beauty enhanced. Alternately, its a color of caution, from a slippery floor to a poison concoction. It also implies one to be cowardly, imbuing the title of 'yellow-belly'. Whatever the tone, whether belly or feather, yellow is glorious no matter the weather.

Here's one for the #ColorADay theme #YellowThu! Enjoy!✨️💛😊🫶💛✨️

"The yellow glistens.
It glistens with various yellows,
Citrons, oranges and greens
Flowering over the skin."

- Wallace Stevens

heavy falling snow
serious solemn faces
outside the old church
gentle, pushed into the hearse
transported to rest awhile

wrapped up in dead leaves
science guru on socials
The scientists weep

the falling droplets
they increase in their number
the windscreen a blur
neoclassical engine
sounds of heartbreak and the sea

The falling house of wood sits within an untouched landscape.

Passers-by pretend the house doesn't exist as they walk around their lives.

The myth of what happened turned into a story that took on a life of its own.

those soft downcast ears
A paw measures the distance
to a chicken meal
a grown cat full of sharp claws
All she sees is a kitten

The house no one notices is where the person they call the witch lives.

Quiet, yet uncomfortably loud. That is how the world outside describes 'the lady'.

Uninterested in the limelight, the shadows of home become her friend.

Surrounded by #Literature, she is herself.

a rebellious girl
the study of politics
arts were not enough

the law was calling
try to make a difference
loving ideas

altered by law school
training for hierarchy
the spark was fading

by graduation
the rebellious girl no more
ready for a firm

#vss365 #law #Hierarchy

studying ancient civilisations
dreaming about being Nefertiti
a Queen with unprecedented power

reading about the god men of great worth
their glorious reigns with women behind
watching the stories told in His Story

torchlight under the sheet
The National Geographic Best Photos of the Year
using the magnifying glass
fixated on the volcanoes
The glorious pictures of Iceland & Greenland
dreaming of falling snow
turn towards urbanisation
The #geography textbook has seen better days
contemplating population

I look at you
sometimes when you don't notice

I stare at you
Rarely, when you are oblivious to my presence

I wonder if we,
the two of us, would have spoken
if you were

famous when we met over 24 years ago

#vss365 #famous

Fatigue has found me
Through my resting elbow and
my head on my hand

#SpringRain #Rain #haiku #Fatigue #Poetry

The falling Spring rain
comes with the sound of thunder
to stop and ponder
to have an education
to see our nation changing

Barry had one too many tinnies,
Sharon overdid the gin ratio in the punch, and
Grandma sits with her whiskey.

On a day such as this one today,
Barry and Sharon let their bottled feelings out.

Grandma watches the #domestic,
the same one that happens every year, sipping away.

Driving along the winding M1
hoping my car will take me home
Around the bend, the pink lady shines;
a luminous ball rising in the late sky
The clear pastel sunset & the lady,
constantly moving in & out of view
They guide me back to the ones I love,
from a world full of money & ladders

pig-like creature calls
himself “horse of the river”
that hippo critter

#creature #SenryuSunday

The bushes rustle
a fluffy creature crunches
with a warning grunt

a van by the sea
fish and chips from Flip and Flap
a little business
the seagulls waited for this
day to feast on stolen chips

Pollen in the air
aching for Melbourne Cup Day
despite the races
Oh joyous! A long weekend
It is Halloween for some

C&K Words
wind moves the branches
fast asleep in the lush leaves
a stirring approach
eyes open slowly to see
a ray of light from somewhere

the mud of autumn
mixed with the bodies of the
dead and the dying
An ill-fated day for the
brave men of the wolf argent

As an experiment, she decided to work, watch, & wait.

An unwelcoming vibe initially felt like overthinking, until the gossipy clique started talking about the person who occupied her seat.

A long line of Lawyers sat here before her, so she was kind, yet never nice.

#vss365 #experiment

A new morning, the same routine to the car
The way work creeps into your life
From a few hours overtime to living to work

Your cats grow older and older each day
The plants become used to surviving alone
The house learns to live without your life

#vss365 #creep

cold pastel colours
the heliacal rising
a quiet morning

#vss365 #heliacal #haiku

an empty office
a deep chill in the corner
flickering movement

investigating
the office was once a morgue
unnaturally cold

sitting among ghosts
the terror some people feel
displaced paper and files

a quiet knowledge
'you know they laugh at us'
undisturbed billing

#vss365 #terror

that rust-red planet
from the moment he could walk
Mars was once his home

unable to sleep
watching the stars and the sky
longing to return

Sky Man, a Martian
with a soul made of red earth
longing for something

#vss365 #Martian

Snide random comments
"No one's got time to do that!"
Bypassed for an extrovert

She sits at her desk working
"Yes, we all have time for that!"
Smiling at the mean women

Strength to keep moving on
"I am unseen, yet I will be me!"
Leaving nice, every day kind

#vss365 #unseen

they lived in the dark
once there were lights, power lines
now there are candles
the meaning of energy
they lost the information

#vss365 #energy #tanka

the bellowing wind
whipping up a storm outside
while we sit snugly
The Void sits by the saucer
another excuse for milk
