Greens of the Forest

The greens of the forest open my mind
tantalizing me with their well-kept secrets
wowing me with their varieties and textures
refreshing me with a shiny coolness not found
in concrete landscapes or graffiti-decorated 
boxcar yards.  Bringing with her loveliness 
side dishes of baby blue soft sky and dainty 
pure scented violets that arouse my dendrites 
and entice my imagination like nothing else does.

I can smell the crisp pine now (beautiful line 'dainty pure scented violets') an air freshener just can't duplicate it!

I love violets, I swear they hide the real faeries.
