The Astronaut's Report

This lovely planet's quite unique -
the strangest world I've ever seen:
the sky, the clouds, the sun and moon,
the sea, the sand and ice are green;
in shades of green, the people too,
the dogs and cats, the birds and fish,
the dinosaurs and unicorns.
I see more green than one could wish
to ever see - but then, I blink
and all has changed to shades of...pink...

written 15th March for Carolyn's Green contest

Would like to see this green world of dinosaurs and unicorns, among others, or is it pink? Fun poem, Jack. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries, so you should be proud of your achievement. Best wishes, Carolyn
