Y is for Yoffa and Yellow

It's Y Day in the AtoZ Challenge!

It is National Poetry Month, so I am posting a poem a day as I participate in the AtoZ writing challenge.  I will be writing ekphrastic poetry (a poem that was written with inspiration from an image) using a randomly generated image with a randomly generated FAKE word all this month.  

I am using the site: https://randomwordgenerator.com to get both a fake word and random image for the day.  Here's today's image and poem using the FAKE word "yoffa":

 

Yellow-Blind

 

Yellow lines between the which

lies line of gray contained

That yoffa has been prone to cross

when not securely laned.

A yoffa has a problem

It's severely yellowblind,

so golden is the color that

a yoffa's mind can't find.

It never knows there's mustard

The sun is out of view

And dandelions bedecking yard

to it, look like they're dew;

a yoffa won't eat lemon pie

but salivate and sniff;

The sweet smell is enticing

when it catches just a whiff.

Though yellow is invisible

It sees every other hue:

Red and purple, green and brown...

But its favorite color's blue.

Z last day of the AtoZ is tomorrow!

But I think I'll still keep trying a poem a day.

I did not have as many readers this year as in the past, but that is MY fault!  I just couldn't get around to reading much this year as I usually have done.  Sorry, all!  Maybe I can catch up.
