autumn rain the road’s pool scatters the cars
"ten thousand shades of radiant yellow"
What a fantastic couple of lines. Unfortunately yellow reminds me of machine gun rounds if you mean yellow derived from saffron. Long story. ;-)

To have an eye that can distinguish colors is a wonderful gift. Some people can't tell the difference between blue and green … or green and red.
Fabulous tanka! Thank you.
summer by the flower stall… free perfume samples
wonderful depiction of the endless shades of a single, radiant yellow
commuter train– tired eyes behind a burst of petals
in the yellow mums the radiant yellow eyes of a stray kitten
In Chicago, on Lincoln Avenue across the street from Second City is a great cut-flower and plant shop. It displays much of its inventory on the sidewalk.
Wow Ed, what a vivid image.
Sunflower field like a battery of yellow incandescent faces straining skywards.
a splendid autumn's offering
much love gillena
