This week's challenge

Show and Tell: I'll give an ambiguous description of something you have. You then write a poem that includes the item in some significant way.

Look out any window in your home. The first yellow object you see is the object you should use in your poem.

Shades of Yellow (villanelle)

Shades of Yellow (villanelle)

Yellow pendant causing motion
Cover-up for ruling colors
Stopping all without emotion.

Calder mobiles had the notion,
Thoughts, in extreme were polars:
Hangings caused thought explosion.

Practical shades for locomotion
Abide despite extreme solars
Pending for licit speed promotion.

Hanging bright without corrosion
Silent guards for strollers
Wouldn’t work out in the ocean.

From Starbuck’s cavern, in slow motion
Viewing yellow shades, traffic controllers:
Lights affecting driver’s law’s erosion
Green, red, yellow - start/stop commotion.
