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.
