Best Verdant Poems

Horses in battle with valor showed
 In ancient times when conflicts rose
 On mighty steeds warriors rode
 Swords at the ready to vanquish foes

 Modern battles by machines are run
 Which allowed the equines to have more fun
 Running wild running free
 Enjoying a new...

Green is more than a color it’s true;
In viridescence there’s the promise 
Of life springing anew,
Or maybe that’s found 
In hues vibrant chartreuse.

Pea is the eyes of a jaundice and spite
It’s a virulent shade
Which foreshadows a fight
That’s driven by envy—
An emotional blight.

And once March is...

Through new tender verdant pecan leaves
A golden full moon cast shadows

The whip-poor-will loudly calls his lover
Full moonlight reveals secrets
Bobcat silently creeps

Full moon slowly rising on this cloudless night
Perfect in most ways, except for solitude
No one with whom to share beautiful sight
God is there and He...

Remembering Sweet Dawns And Verdant Greens

When rose-covered days grace thy waning years
thee hast great courage to face thy great fears;
summon up thy treasures by mere thought
celebrate past life for love, all it has wrought.

Remembering sweet dawns and verdant greens
gems of youth and wonders found in...

Our dreams of your acceptance bob 
like flotsam and jetsam in the waves
as we crash upon your verdant shores

Our hopes of sustenance and charity
lie like lagan on the bottom of your sea
where your abundance does not await us

Our hearts were drawn by your beacons;
freedom, compassion,...

squirrels' lush verdant abode

A bird sings with melodic flow
 As butterflies flutter to and fro
  While a summer breeze does gently blow
 At the edge of the woods where blackberries grow

 In verdant meadows blackberries florish
 And many creatures this fruit does nourish
 It is also used...

After berserkers violated, nonviolent, virtuous, souls
residing in Ireland's verdant vales, 
victims vented their intense disliking of the vile, vicious, 
violent, vikings by valiantly fighting back victoriously....

As I'm gently rolling down this hill,
a revelation makes my heart still;
meadows far and meadows wide
may beckon from another side
but, nowhere in my life I've seen
grass so lush and so, so green...

Wild flowers waves rye grass
saturated cow pasture;
primed with rain showers,
pistachio and moss green
lively, dancing, verdant dream....

My spirit athirst for a placid scene 
  Of the verdant mountains of nirvana. 
    Where rivers and ocean are azures sky. 
      The lull rises and fall, of yawning waves, 

Coastal seashore's seagulls and sea...

white dream in verdant green
bridal veil in great assail
rising from rainforest steam
as speckled owl wail

white steam in rocky stream
a train of roaring lace
penetrates the verdant scene
falling, falling with such grace

wet, cold moss beneath heat
belonging to a black earth
pull it up and you have peat
smell the...
