Color me yellow
Marigolds and sunshine
Butter me up, Babe
Make me laugh
That ugly laugh
That real one
You know…
Too much teeth, too much gums
A parade of bumblebees
Spilling from my mouth
Spell out my name
With those little golden letters
Like the ones
On the spine
Of my favorite books
I wanna twinkle
Bright, like a star
Wild, like a firecracker
Wrap me up, Honey
Like a lemon Starburst
They’re the best ones
#changemymind
Oh and don’t forget
Snag some bananas
While you’re out
You know I won’t eat ‘em
But they’ll look fancy
In that amber fruit bowl
You bought for me
Way out
In Amarillo.
-Elle
#Poetryfromthenotpoet Have I mentioned that I supposed to be writing a novel?
