Make a Little Birdhouse in Your Soul. A five minute freewrite.

Today’s Five Minute #freewrite prompt: yellow

If Hope is the Thing with Feathers, then it must be a yellow warbler because I think yellow is the color of hope. The sweet song of the yellow warbler is cheerful and reminds me of spring. The little birds chirp and tweet, flit and bounce, among the branches of the aspen tree near my place in the woods. I love to sit with a cup of coffee and enjoy the warm yellow sunshine and watch the little birds. They do indeed perch on my soul and sing the sweetest songs when the internal storm is trying to bash me against the rocks. I do long for an eternal spring, full of hope and warmth and the color yellow.
