Hello everyone. Colleen said “This week, let’s have fun with the colour of March: GREEN!
Green is one of those colours that includes many shades. This colour also has different meanings not associated with the color.
This week’s challenge is to choose your own syllabic form and a shade of green to feature in your syllabic poem. You’ll receive bonus points if you don’t use the name: green. You’ll also receive bonus points if you can also incorporate a different meaning for the word green in your poem.
I have decided to do a Haiku using new apprentice, meaning green, no experience. Verdant meaning, lush and green, and Viridesence meaning greenish or becoming green.
Spring
mother nature’s new
apprentice perfects leafy
shades so verdant.
the rain quenches them gently
earth dressed in viridesence.

So cool: Mother Nature sure looks the best in these colors when we’ve been so used to see her in white for so long. In truth, she looks fabulous in every color under the rainbow. Thanks for the poem, loved the way you used the prompt. Happy March. Spring. xoxo
