Pluck a Buttercup

  Do you remember picking buttercups when you were a kid? You'd hold them under your chin and if the reflecting color turned your chin yellow that meant you liked butter. Well, here's a cool article explaining why buttercups are so good at shining that yellow light on your chin:

Interesting. And buttercups are so happy. How can you not be happy when you hold that much yellow? They are bright, sunny and cheerful. I snapped a few pictures of buttercups recently and wrote a few haiku to go with them:

Pluck a buttercup

Mirror yellow on my chin

Yes, I like butter

---------

Tiny yellow suns

I can hold them in my hands

Bright yellow beauty

--------

Playful, yellow, fun

Buttercups sway in the breeze

Come and play with me.

Quack!
