Under cliff hides life
Long time here the world slept
Ancient homes remain.

Premium MemberBless Each Palo Verde Bloom -

Bless each palo verde bloom –
   Those cuplets kissed by the sun
My vision wants to consume
   That thus have raptured my love.

See how they speckle the tree
   With a burst of yellow bright
And upon the branches flit
   By the wind that blows nigh –

Leading me not to

Premium MemberGifts From Emerald and Verde

An artsy faerie of Emerald green
with her dragon Verde can be seen,
deep in the woods by a stump of oak;
this pair were quite creative folks.

A faerie gifted with a talent for carving
though she earned not a single farthing;
she carved and carved for children you see
bunnies, flowers, birds and bees.

Verde would fly into their dreams at

Mesa Verde

No one’s ever gone
until forgotten

Their memory etched 
like words in stone

Mesa Verde

Shadows on a cave wall,
eyes that look for truth

Figments of what sight denies
—dancing resolute

Premium MemberPalo Verde

Green clinger on arid arroyo rock, 
Spring blooms of faded yellow you did drop.
Desert dry took a toll of leaf and branch
Leaving photosynthesis to your bark.
Life is tough, lizard kissed, so short and harsh.
Unlike upland cousins, you are blessed:
In your shelter rests a saguaro babe,
Whose stately arms one day will take your place.

Grama Verde E Tulipa Vermelha

A grama é verde, a tulipa é vermelha

Na vida e nos negócios
sempre, sempre
a grama é verde
a tulipa é vermelha
às vezes, você precisa que seu deus
ou Deus te mostre a simplicidade
de um simples convite, 
não uma palavra de sabedoria. 

Quase sempre,
para ver os seus olhos olhando para você,
como os olhos deveriam finalmente “te ver”
vendo você, como

Grama Verde

Grama verde

Na vida ou nos negócios
a grama 
nem sempre é mais verde 
do outro lado da cerca. 

As gramas não conhecem Cercas
Cercas pouco tem a ver 
com gramado verde. 
A grama é mais verde onde é cuidada. 

Ao atravessar cercas,
leve água com você 
e cuide da grama 
em todos os lados da cerca.

Fire of Verde

Verde chases for his meal

A
Trodden over clovers
Robin
An oriole flickers up
Red
Beating down the grass
Breast
A cardinal darts away
Twitches
A streak of lightening flashes
Until
The last bluebird bursts
Death

Premium MemberOde To Verde Lee Allen

After sixty-six years, what remains of first love
Is just your name really, but still it lingers,
Like the fragrance of a rose petal kept in a diary.
It may seem strange to some, but I do call it love
Though we were only 1st graders, wishing on a star.

At recess you were Dale Evans
And I was Roy Rogers,

Junger Grünspecht/ Young Green Woodpecker/ Jóven Carpintero Verde

Im tiefen Flug
Herrlich leuchtendes Gefieder
Ein junger Grünspecht

Im  hohen alten Lindenbaum
Am günen Ufer der Mandau

In its deep flight 
With splendid bright plumage
A young Green Woodpecker 

At a tall old linden tree 
Near the green banks of the Mandau

En su vuelo rasante
Con maravilloso brillante plumaje 
Un joven carpintero verde

En un tilo viejo y alto 
Cerca de
