Y: Yes, Young, Yertle the Turtle, Yard Sale, and Yellow Jasmine

#atozchallenge      Y: Yes   Let's cheer yes to acceptances. Let's play our Yes Greatest Hits Album. C'mon all you old rockers - Roundabout and I've Seen All Good People. Jon Andersen's voice could soar through an arena and Rick Wakeman could astound.  

Neil Young never does look happy. But that's fine because he's sending us messages and we need to listen to him. Ohio, Like a Hurricane, Heart of Gold. Whether he was with Crosby, Stills, and/or Nash or solo, Neil Young's voice was/is singular and poignant.

Youth is a perpetual intoxication, a fever of the brain - La Rochefoucauld

Yertle the Turtle - classic Dr.Seuss

Yard Sale - as applied to the world of skiiing, it's an oops. I heard the term at Jackson Hole Wyoming ( I was a tourist, not a skier), but was inspired to write a poem -
Teton Yard Sale
aerial tram glides
snowcaps beckon
moose tread below
eager laughter
diminishes
mutes
majestic silence
eyes survey ski slopes
sharp narrow paths
pinball forested run
sit, stand, jostle
ski pants swoosh
nervous preparation
buckle clink, velcro scratch
frankenstein boot step
cable car lurches upwards
downhill gondola passes
next level flows
steeper
peer down, plot course
spot crevasse chute
a body hurtles
poised
sharp
leaning
flails
poles javelin
skis askew
black gloved tree branch
goggles glitter
enclosed above
we point

Finally - Yellow Jasmine - so pretty, so deadly. Then again, don't chew on pretty flowers. I know I've learned that lesson this month. Oh, and Yellow Jackets - try to not aggravate them or you'll be stung.
