The bandit

A tale of a miss-understood shade

By Manu SalazarPublished 5 years ago β€’ 1 min read

She is the rogue daughter of yellow and blue

She is a bandit, wickedly smart

Flirty, whimsy, stormy

will make even the most stubborn smile

She is unapologetically herself

She is comfort in the green, and happiness in the light

No dark shade really stands a chance

Her contagious spark lives in a singular state,

a place where seriousness befriends funny,

and timing is the queen

With perfect blend of confidence and emotion

she is the subtle thief of all silent moments.

The streets know her as sarcastic humor

But, she is wanted in all counties as

Light green.
