Green

Emeralds, Polished Jade, LENORE’S GREEN Eyes 
GREEN as the flavor of Mint
Sweet, Leafy  GREEN: Lettuce

It reminds  Me
Defines  Me
Exciting to Eye                                                                                                                  
See GREEN in the Rainbow
Among the many Hues

In Nature
GREEN Color
Spreading  across the Forest Floor
Climbing the Latticework by my Door
The Mountains’ “ Evergreens “ 
     Inspired by the Title and Format of Laurie Ginn’s  POEM “ R E D “
                            DEDICATED  to  L A U R I E    G I N N
Dear Francine, Hope this finds YOU and YOURS Healthy and High in the Spirit.

This one is very nice. It reminds me of one of Schubert's german lieder songs: Die Liebe Farbe -- The favorite color. It is a song my father likes very much. His wife was very fond of green... Always, Laura

beautiful. her eyes define you, then her eyes must be filled with nature, in love. and i believe the spirits do speak to me, they guide me through my poetry by showing me dreams and visions.with people and events deeply significant to me. they guide me into the emotions of others so i can feel them. .their spirits, such as yours Harry.i love you always big brother.and also i did read Michael's poetry, i found it quite interesting, the spirit always is--Always&Forever your spirit sister Lynn
