"Green is nature’s poetry."
"Green – the magical canvas of nature."
"Green gives the calm we need in this world full of chaos."
                                            ~ Shilpa Ahuja (all 3 quotes) 

"Green is the fresh emblem of well-founded hopes."
                                                    ~ Mary Webb


Nature's poetry is green, 
     Blazing in the leaves, 
It makes the heart feel serene, 
     The mind, calm receives;

Green is canvas magical, 
     Where God paints the trees, 
Vast verdancy radical
     Cool the eyes and please;

Emblem of well-founded hopes, 
      Green is Spring's first blush, 
The fresh grass that grows on slopes, 
      Decked with dew looks lush;

When we see an emerald, 
      The pulse beats faster, 
Green does excite and herald
     "Hand of the Master".

Jo, this is so intrinsically lovely and serene! A beautiful song of praise to the "hand of the Master." Wonderful alliterations with a fresh rhyme scheme. I love the phrase "green is canvas magical" and the reference to the emerald. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings!

Oh my, this poem enveloped my soul in emerald and grape green hues, so silken and velvety, like those lush sepals protect the luscious petals.. Your wordplay is truly sumptuous, dear Joanna and your wordsmithery is artistic, I love "Green is Spring's first blush", "Green is canvas magical", "When we see an emerald,the pulse beats faster" So beautiful and enchanting, a brilliant take for the contest!!

Jo, Your lines of green being Spring's first blush and the herald of the Master's Hand are wonderfully expressed in your entry. Green is my favorite color and the emerald is my favorite gem.
