Words described many –

Shades of green vary.

Avocado, a pale green

And when darker, a bottle green.

Grass is green, as in green;

Emerald is but, bright green.

Photograph of new leaves

Captured unintentionally,

Defined the work of green (person)

But, couldn’t define green.

I held on to it longer than desired;

Innocence of green but couldn’t be borrowed.
