At a team-building session this week, we analyzed our working personalities and split into four groups. At work, I (and many of my colleagues) were Golds: we love order, lists, planning, organizing, and deadlines. In honor of my Gold (yellow) work style, I'm posting this poem by Emily Dickinson.
Nature rarer uses yellow
Than another hue;
Saves she all of that for sunsets,--
Prodigal of blue,
Spending scarlet like a woman,
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly,
Like a lover's words.
-- Emily Dickinson
Poetry Friday is at Book Aunt this week.
Have a great weekend!

I love the sound of "Saves she all of that for sunsets." Something in the colors of this poem has me hankering for fall.
Oh, you're right! Gold/yellow, scarlet, and blue--like the trees against the sky. I too am hankering for fall.
