Xanthous

The tonal equivalent of goodwill,

Scattered haphazardly amongst the trees.

A blooming narcissus named daffodil,

Captured Wordsworth’s eye “dancing in the breeze.”*

Genus helianthus, or sunflower,

Alongside aromatic marigold.

Charming blossoms sunlight does empower,

Developing skyward blissfully bold.

The vintage kerchief, today’s bandana,

Adjusted around the neck so neatly.

A tasty, nutritious, ripe banana,

Exemplifies this color completely.

Vocal hue of the singing canary,

Promoting ambiance light and airy.

*(From Wordsworth, William. (1802). “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”).

Here is the original limerick I wrote for this challenge; however, as usual, I failed to take notice of the 50-word minimum.

Hint: It's Not Purple

An integral part of daytime for us,

Lemons, canaries, a cab, and school bus.

A ripe banana,

A stylish bandana,

Omnipresent but not superfluous.
