Analysis of Forest Green



Forest Green
Forest green is the patch I walk,
      soul soothing song of,
              whispering wind,
                      among the leaf.
Rich verdant greens and browns,
       way on up and on the ground,
               flashing little accents,
                       red yellow, white, and blue.
The scent of earth,
        the sheen of dew,
                the plants' subtle aroma, and life,
                        crystal-voiced bird.
The bright chortle of stream,
        flutter-by of butterfly,
                scampering mouse,
                         tympanic throating frog.
Silent swans glide, serenely on,
        Puffed white clouds pinned to a clear blue sky,
                silver-lit fish swimming by,
                         turtle on a log.
