roaring giants alter course…

the lady in red
head to toe
green with envy
at the leprechaun’s gold
tracking his every move

my emotions mixed
i am red with rage
green with envy
yellow as a coward
pink from bashfulness

The yellow canary
Turns green with envy,
He shall sing like a piccolo
In the soft moonlight, but
Cast his silhouette
On the stars of night...

there was a redneck scarlet woman
who screamed blue murder
after seeing red in a blue movie
making purple passionate love in the pink
to the yellow peril who was green with envy...

Lost in this moment 
my emotions mixed 
I am red with rage 
Green with envy 
yellow as a coward 
white with Dread 
pink from bashfulness 
as I sit here confused 
in a mixture of colors...

Celery didn’t have the biggest stalk in the bunch,
but Broccoli was jealous, Celery had a hunch.
The garden of eatin’
allows no competin’
Although green with envy, they got together for lunch...

Transition to tortured soul
Yet green with envy

Blue, blue Barry, blue lips..
Sounds berry's but every good 
True blue for you but just 
mellow with yellow here
Don't be green with envy 
because I only tickle with with 
pink for your true blue...

I feel like I am stuck
and can't be freed.
I feel like I am stuck 
and full of envy.
I don't love you anymore,
or so I trick myself to think,
but when I see her
with you instead of me,
it makes me sick,
green with envy....

My scarlet lips
and painted toes,
my glowing cheeks of tender rose,
the crimson hue He never knew.
My love He cannot see.

The green of leaves,
the green of trees,
the green of envy deep within me;
my Love, He cannot see....

When distance divides
What could have been there
Why does it matter?
Yet you maintain those feelings
Shove them in my face
And make me green with envy
Resentful of myself
And nothing more
Than those who take for granted
Your everyday presence...

There was once a girl whose name was Pam
Mean as she could be, blamed Uncle Sam
            Abhorred all the rich
           Thought life's a bi#tch
 Green with envy she didn't give a damn

Keeping up with the "Joneses" leads nowhere-
You discover quickly that Life isn't fair!
Be content with the Life that is your own...
If you have what you need you shouldn't bemoan-
Not everyone can be a millionaire!

my green you envy is gone 
it lays as soft auburn rug 
bare yet tall rooted I am 
to embrace new form

You're my friend,
yet you act like my enemy.
I see you change color
from the purple
of fairy tale chivalry
to the green of envy.
The hands that glued
my disconnected self
now tear me to pieces.
I am no longer whole
no longer a poet.
My words matter no more,
for you have lit a fire
and burnt them into ash....

She holds herself above the thorns of bitterness
So sharp  and green with envy of her loveliness
As she trembles in the chill of winter’s breath
That stills the beating of her scarlet breast
As  her petals fall like drops of blood 
Upon the snowy mantle white
As beautiful in death
As she was the rose  in life

I am in competition
with no one
with the exception of
myself.

Sometimes I think
life would be easier
if I were
dumb.

Maybe
if I were ugly
people would be
nice.

I
wish people
could see my
heart.

Perhaps
they might
actually like
me.

MATISSE MAIDENS
Maidens..so many.
Marguerite
dressed so neat
 Laurette and
Lorette so sad, so sweet.
The upstairs maid with Greta Moll
his still life doll.
Odalisques 
curves and shapes,
 in colour and drapes.
Chapeaux and Chevelure 
with locks astray.
A sister or two,and a wife,
 green with envy,
to paint 
     and portray...

I was
burning
with curiosity,
and wondered
how it would be possible
and what would be used
to scratch one’s soul;
It seemed unlikely to me
when I was young,
But one day I was about to learn
they were never the sharp nails of a lady,
nor the sharp teeth of those who get greedy
but sharp tongues of those who are green with envy...

PURPLE PATCH

I’m going through a purple patch;
All that I touch turns to gold.
My opponents are green with envy,
Even though I’m grey and old.
Please excuse my colourful language,
But I’m really in the pink.
If this purple patch continues, 
I’ll win this contest I think.

Colour me green natures favourite colour
Colour me green a golfers dream
Colour me green robin hoods men
Colour me green  a snooker players table
Colour me green american money 
Colour me green to save my planet 
Colour me green and go at the lights
Colour me green to make your garden grow 
Colour me green  British racing team
Colour you green with envy as you didn't write me :-)...

Your friendship glows like a bright day.
Your face grins painting a bright day.

Our sun will be green with envy.
It will give up on a bright day.

If only you could fly to the moon.
You may recognize a bright day.

You count for a lot to me dear.
And we'll delight on a bright day.

You'll be famous as a gold scout.
Or quite guarantee a bright day.
