All Green

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.

“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.
