Mike Jones Poet Fibonacci

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.

CayCay Godwin June 11, 2016 at 6:45 AM 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
