Notes About The Poem

Deep Green

in the coolness of shadows
in the misty fountain spray
thrilling to summer's last steps
in midst of birdsong

in a park of pleasantness
so peaceful near the flowers
radiance rules the daytime 
echoing through night

green is the color of life
and August is so alive
butterflies brighten the shade
this peaceful Sunday

I can hear the sound of the waterfalls and see the serenity in your picture of words, Evelyn. Reminds me of the painting of Sunday in the Park. It too is filled with "the color of life" - green. Harvest blessings my friend.
