Watercolor Wednesday | Green.

Green

It is a green world,

lush and damp, drops

of water poised on

grass blades, some

leaves large as dinner

plates. To describe

the scene, I need more 

words for green. There

must be tropical tongues,

words sprouting from

the depths of rain

forests, languages rich

with more verdant

imagery than English.

It is green world,

chartreuse, jade,

and olive mix in

the vista like 

tossed salad;

cucumber, emerald,

lime, the deep

satisfying green

of pea vines,

the blue-green

of pines in shadow,

the pale green of 

early applies

favorited by the 

deer. Green was

the first thought

I had this morning

when I opened my

eyes, and looked outside.
