Green

Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.” – Pedro Calderon de la Barca


  Absorbing sunlight to a green synergy
  Blends in chloroplast creating energy.
  Celery cucumber in salad bowl green
  Deep foliage of forests, in dark unseen
  Enveloped handiwork of Supreme God
  Freedom in green, it's what cities applaud.
  Grass is always green on the other side
  Hope returns the spring, winter modified
  Ivy creeps dainty tendrils into the cracks
  Joshua survives , as an ecosystem backs.
  Kale and spinach with gourds and peas
  Leaves are emeralds, the treasure of trees.
  Mantle of soft mosses clinging hard stones
  Nature is unique in its greenery thrones.
  Our green of life , Mother Earth speaks 
  Promise of love, our soul and spirit seeks.
  Queen of all colors, ferns and pine hills
  Rain shower sparkling, as on jade spills . 
  Serenade blue in pale green seafoam,
  Trees sustain birds to make their home.
  Undertone of all green, farmers harvest
  Verdant fields encompass the farthest
  Weeping Willow has its own clean tears
  Xmas merriness  disappears our fears
  Youth evergreen doesn't forever last
  Zigzag axe on our Green, a sky overcast
