Greener pastures and uncertainties
Obscures when Jacaranda blooms
Soul rejoices to spiritual union of myths and life.

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.

Green II
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.
