Bright Geen Land

Up the rolling hills As much green as one can see Meeting with blue sky As colors swirl together Beauty expressed with its heart The greatest green grass Displaying color outside On the brightest fields A gorgeous feel about it A love on the ground below The hills move around Where the sky fills, up above A cyan blue shown Mixed perfectly with the green Of the wondrous grass pronounced The greenery here In this harmonious land Brightens the dreary A happy day is brought forth From this delightful green place

Great use of the word green..Reads like a winner in the contest...Good job..Thanks for stopping by..We have had an unusually mild winter..It could turn cold though..One can not get ahead and do much planning until around April for it could turn on the winter still..Sara
