All Green

DSC05302 - Copy

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.

Green II

Wild Grass

Wild grass

Akin to Narcissus

Grow appreciating

Own beauty;

Ripples of green

On  the pond,

Itself green;

Wild wind envious.

Narcissus is a mythical character from Greek mythology who is said to have died by the bank of the river as he became entranced by the beautiful reflection of himself.

Greens

“Greens! Who said?”

I was looking at that wedged path

Across the street

Lined with roses, red and yellow;

Cacti fenced modestly –

Speckled pebbles, black and white.

             Rinsing the veggies, she answered,

            “You’re right about colours.”

             Appetising and healthy –

            Bell peppers, red and yellow;

           Salad leaves arranged modestly –

         Speckled mushrooms, black and white.
