Green

Green


Crisp Emerald foliage adorn timber wood

Fresh, lush , meadows spring in season 
Its blades navigate terrain 

Parrot recite and chant ,echoing tongues 
Making language its own

Squeaky false leaves  and muddy ones dissolve from top, to seed to root  

Sharp, tender, sweet  ,spinach, kale , dandelion greens 
Our daily bread and grace 

 Old age, raw, green to gray, oh the glory that fades
