Sunset yellow

by Ed Fonseca

You say you wanna be yellow,
then I must say yellow is the new color,
with which I shall paint my world,
the earth, the skies, even the seas,
shall all be colored,
why, even the peas,
All will be yellow,
In accordance to the unwritten law,
the law my universe follows,
since it revolves around you,
since it does,
I’ll make sure,
that we get to see everything yellow,
especially that romantic settin’ sun,
but we must catch it quick,
before it’s gone

    Wow I really love this, romantic without being sappy, which is the best kind of romantic.

    Very good, it makes me think of coldplay ( a little influence pehaps?) but nevertheless a really good poem. I like the line “then I must say yellow is the new color with which I shall paint my world” really touching and sweet… good job!
