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.
