NaPoWriMo Prompt 21: Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that repeats or focuses on a single color. Some examples for you – Diane Wakoski’s “Blue Monday,” Walter de la Mare’s “Silver,” and Dorothea Lasky’s “Red Rum.”A painting of a bumble bee body filling the whole canvas: a dirigible or a monster, whose sting once spent, will cause its corpse to crush the whole earth. Squeezing the lemon in the clamp I hold the spent half up to my face like an oxygen mask. We sampled many shades of yellow—
Great sensory details with this. I especially love: "once spent, will cause its corpse
to crush the whole earth." which evokes to me the idea of how brutal the life process of some creatures, while natural still doesn't mean they aren't cruel or devastating to nature.
One glorious evocation after another of that delicious color!
Thank you 😊. "Delicious" is the perfect way to describe it.

Thank you, Susan! 😊
Beautiful imagery! Can you say "which shade of sunshine" 10 times fast?
Thanks, Mike! And no, I cannot. It collapses to gibberish almost immediately 😁.
GORGEOUS.
Oops. I am glitching over here 🤪. Thank you so much, Kristine!
Oh, yellow! Oh, how I love your yellow words!
Thank you, Fotini! Yellow is my favorite 💛
I thought I didn't like yellow. I love this, very cinematic!
