Shades of Green

"Shades of Green" In meadowland, fragrant heather cascaded While I walked hand in hand flowered kisses invaded. Pollen descended from golden honeybees Buzzing contently upon billowing breeze. Gazing at blue sky, I brightly smile Into evening light, my eyes to beguile. A haven of refuge in this peaceful place Sun-rays touch so gently every leaf's face. My true love appears in shades of green As tender emotions emit unseen. A fantasy paradise, sweet and serene Passions overflow among beautiful green. My dreams of delight transport me there Immersed in embrace without a care. As tall as green grass, the winds, I kiss, Curve on curve sways, bending in bliss. *For Catie Lindsey's Re-Write One of My Poems Contest.

I like this poem. There is something about the color green that is so relaxing at least I think so. In 2008 I told my husband I was going to make a bed spread in all the shades of green that i could find. It turned out beautiful. good luck in the contest. Lucy
