LYDIA'S SUBMISSION

YELLOW

...Golden rays

Piercing through towering thunderheads

...Someone who is afraid
To stand for what he believes
...Cheerful black-eyed susans
Lifting their heads
To the sun
...The breast of a carefree meadowlark
Trilling a beautiful song
...A small rubber duck
Floating
Amidst a mass of bubbles
...The legal pad of a eloquent lawyer
...Autumn leaves
Drifting along
On a gentle breeze
...The warm feeling that surges through my body
When something thrills me
...Frilly daffodils
Waving gaily
In the fresh zephyrs of spring
...Laughter bubbling
From an innocent child's lips...
