Try this and see if it's what you had in mind.

  camera{location<0,0,-5>look_at<0,0,0>}
  light_source{<-5,0,-20>rgb 1}

  union{
  intersection{
  cylinder{y*-1,y*1,1 open pigment{rgbf<1,1,0,1>}
  finish{ambient .4 diffuse .1 specular 1 roughness .0001 reflection .05}}
  plane{z,-.8 pigment{rgbft 1}}rotate 0*x}

  intersection{
  cylinder{y*-2,y*2,1 open pigment{rgb 1}}
  box{-1,1 scale<.7,1,.6>translate z*-1.35 inverse pigment{rgbft 1}}}
  rotate 0*y}
