Poem Title:
Poem
It was there on the ground, the ragged lone leaf It made my heart sad, to see it fall down Verdant green in the spring, it was meant to be born yet, before it was weary, it had to turn brown They have covered the ground, and the grass, shabby green What had been brilliant green, is lost in the rain Emerald trees in the spring, when they gave us new hope that something exciting, had happened again All that's green turns to brown. That we can't turn around It's a sign that all life, must come to an end Time is lost in a flash, just as the colors can't last Can't the seasons slow down, is it too much to ask? With its thin mossy veins, I hold on to the the past and the tint of the jade, bring me sweet memories Verdant green fades away, like the hours and days Then dwindles away…….like a candle and flame Green leaves turn into rust....then to ash in a flash Just as ashes turn to ashes...and the dust turns dust ___________________________________________________ 3/1/16 Contest: United Colors: Green Sponsor: Silent One
