On yellow days I feel ecstatic
like a kitten anticipating
the feel of the yarn
between it's paws
on a hot summer day

It was an assignment in class. We had to write a simile. I thought of my ever day life. I'm always hyper and happy.

I really like this poem a lot.  It's very short but packs a nice punch.  I don't know if the last line is strictly necessary though - ending on the image of the kitten highlights the importance of the simile and gives a great visual

After reading both of your day poems, it's become clear that you're a cat person. I like the reoccurring theme that you are using, especially when incorporated into such a perfect simile as this one. I really enjoy reading your poetry; it's short, sweet, and, yet, very deep. 

Cheers

Awww, I love it. Such a perfect image. It's short and simple but it gets across exactly what you're trying to say :) Well done!
