Forty Shades of Green

I watch transfixed standing still in fascination beside the banks of the great grey- green, greasy waters of the Isis River, flowing in quick motion, silently perpetually; eddies, ripples shapes distorting. Cool clear. Forty shades of green; leaves of many hues blended by fast flowing waters into a peaceful impressionist living canvas. There's lime, olive, emerald and avocado. grass, moss, fern, sea and many more.

Superb scenic imagery tapped my memory and I was transported to such a lake buried deep and foggy in my brain, but felt my memory and you did that. It was a good one, so thank you. An excellent Fibonacci. 7 ... CayCay

Thanks Jan. I've been away from poetrysoup for a while so was not aware of the competition.
