Yellow bus is morning
Gathers children for school
Yellow sunflower faces
Smile over the garden
Yellowjackets
Gorge on yellow peaches
Yellow sun
Leans in a southern window
Goldfinches
Yellow since dandelion time
Harvest weed seeds
Yellow leaves begin to drop
One, two, a few.
(Elizabeth “Zibette” Dean wrote poetry in high school; she’s come back to it in old age. She enjoyed adult education classes in Rockport and Damariscotta. Her poems have been published in the Goose River Anthology.)
