The Color Green

Grasshoppers and katydids Cactus, growing in the sand Palm trees near the ocean May-apples in the woodland Parrots squawking in the jungle Moss creeping over rotten logs Luscious ferns filling forests Huge dinosaurs, tiny tree frogs Watercress and lettuce leaves English ivy, honeysuckle vines Grass snakes and lunar moths Cedar, fir, spruce, and pines Myriad grasses, filling meadows And blanketing every lawn Fields of corn and sugarcane Fat caterpillars, tiny inchworms The stem of every flower the fat shell of every bean Looking around, it would seem Our Father favors the color green
