Green Envy

When youth in full bloom during Spring's green boom See a robin fly by or geese in the sky Do not feel impressed by Spring's new green dress Thoughts all aflutter tongues twist and mutter When pretty young girls with green bows and curls Skip by with their friends chit chat without end Spring's green with envy can't feel the frenzy She plunks herself down a sullen green frown Soon clouds fill the sky big tears fall from high People just scatter What is the matter? Dear Spring takes a look at the smiles she took Demeanour improved Her Green-ness is soothed. Poetry Contest submission: It's Spring. Show me the green Sponsor: Francine Roberts Date: March 21, 2015
