Notes About The Poem

In My Green Dream


and in my green dream, I find myself in a green lush forest
dripping wet with life, steamy and sultry
I am one with nature and with the emerald drifting water
oh, the chartreuse moss and the wet lime green ferns
I float in tranquility and beneath me seaweed grows, swaying
so many greens all united in harmony
juniper, sage, olive, shamrock, pine 
emerald green of a little frog and the dark green of a crocodile
small green fish kissing my toes
  a lovely green flower, a green snake slithers
    a fluttering green butterfly, a green bird sings sweetly
      green twining vines, meandering in the dark green foliage
        my sage green eyes, whisper come fall into the green depths with me
I will take you to green, green world full of utter peace
all beautiful shades of green, mingled and entwined, united in nature and life

Loved the lusciousness of this poem bubbling with life.
..."small green fish kissing my toes" made me smile. Thanks. I'm going to Costa Rica next week to experience the rain forests for the first time. Reading this poem is perfect timing. ~Brett
