"Stay green......! When one is green, he is in his spring. When green fades, it indicates that winter has set in"- By Poet In the brilliant spectrum of rainbow hues, Oh, Green! Thou art a ravishing shade. You glow and fade in distant skies, You hide beneath the oceans deep, You make the Earth so cheery to live, You ward off famine and assure wealth, You signal movement and ensure health, You soothe the eyes and cool the hearts. In the brilliant spectrum of rainbow hues, Oh, Green! Thou art a ravishing shade. Green is the garb; God gave the Earth to wear, Green is the harbinger of blooming spring, Green – the forests that is home to beasts, Green – the meadows, where the cattle graze, Green – the prairies that stretch afar, Green – the lawns that adorn the homes, Green – the tuft of grass that grows beneath, Green – the unripe fruits that hangs from boughs. In the brilliant spectrum of rainbow hues, Oh, Green! Thou art a ravishing shade. But Alas! The Green is fast fading out, The verdant Earth, turned into an arid stretch, Life made so horrid for man and beast, And Nature mourns her doleful plight, Toil hard to usher the Green again, Never let the trees fall and rot, Take from Nature just enough to make you go, And keep in reserve what is due for the ones to come! In the brilliant spectrum of rainbow hues, Oh, Green! Thou art a ravishing shade.

I was wondering what I could write for a contest for which I have not entered any yet. Green came to mind, but not my muse. What a wonderful poem you wrote. I can never reach such poetic heights. You are indeed a marvel. Best for a win. Blessings.

I never really thought of green so deep, but this poem would definitely make me appreciate green more. Made me think of the turquoise seas and green grass and all that which surrounds and gives us shade and so much more and those unripe fruits too! What a brilliant write this is. Youv touched and explained the definition of green so poetically and in such an impactful manner that left me in awe. Every time i see those rainbow hues ill think of green and this poem, you hve a deep mind. So gifted
