Tender Green

As the Crow soars across the gray sky
And lands 'pon Pecan Tree
Whose tender green sways with the breeze
And Crow's caw floats with ease 

I shiver in my thin nightcoat
Though it is not that cold
Princess shivers with me in her coat
Rooster's crows float bold 

Such a gray morn dripping damp
Sunshine's brightness hidden
Like a wick without kerosene
Or kisses forbidden

Just for fun on a gray day!!!

Hi Sara, it seems you took this comment the wrong way, I actually like this very much, I do not see anything I've put to suggest otherwise, in fact this piece struck me as the start of an epic and great work, so well written.

Thanks for sharing this one. Tender Green. I like the pecan tree and I love pecans. My Mom planted a pecan tree at my brother's house and 5 years ago - it started giving fruiot. Have a great day... Lucilla

'Like a wick without kerosene' Wow...It's been rather chilly here in LA too...VERY unusual weather! That very wise and famous 'expert' Mr. Al Gore would blame it on Global Warming...He should know...After all he invented the Internet didn't he?
