Yellow by Dick Frizzell

 

 

This work by New Zealand artist Dick Frizzell (1943-) is a painting of  poem by Sam Hunt – a New Zealand poet (1946-).

Do you agree that it is both fun and uplifting?

Here is the poem:

 

Yellow

 

It is the yellow of

(guessed it) he

Dandelion:

 

bees have

died for it, mis-

taking the sun.

 

That's how one

such story goes.

Yellow as that.

 

Probably

true, the story.

Any

 

story about

dandelions and yellow

has got to be.

 

For you,

remember it.  Be

ready to die for it.

 

Yellow as that.
