Green the earth, the unfolding Spring
Green the leaves, they murmur
Green with promise, Winter’s end does bring
Green shoots, grow with fervour
Green like the newborn bud
Green the grass, a perfect noon
Green everywhere, a sudden flood
Green under the sun, my birthday’s soon
Green meaning new being
Green like and an apple’s fruit
Green for the next year I’m seeing
Green as a colour sure does suit
Green for the year eighteen
Green may fade as November gives way to December
Green no more, the golden lawn
Green is still there, always remember
Green may have faded, but it’s never gone

After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.
