Kelly, sea, emerald, pine
the vibrant life-green seems unshy–
sage, and hunter, every shade
to bandy beauties with the sky.
–
Blue as vivid heaven’s soul
unrivaled here in realms of clouds,
it sweeps election every day
most popular, and bright and Loud.
–
But hear a word for foliage:
you never notice life around
till suddenly its color splays
like emerald robes from sky to ground.
–
I’ll not choose a winner here
too mortal, small, I sit to see
the rival beauty chaos play
that dresses springtime just for me.
