Premium Green

Published on

There are so many kinds of greens
out in the big wide yonder
but which green is the premiumest?

I shall let you see the options first
(I am not a monster and this
is no pop quiz)

Firstly the smart deciduous green
that cloaks hundreds of pathways
with shade and conquers.

The evergreen that stands proudly
among the songs of snow and wind
and never oscillates in its pride.

The luscious meadow reflecting sunlight
into pools of warming joy
as the backdrop to life.

The luminous stark highlights
of an annotated manuscript, seizing the gaze
and attention of your boss, Trevor (who has
been demanding tea and emails ALLL week).

The rich and flashy emeralds
that coat a city and block a witch,
holds by necks and knuckles and ears.

Iceberg lettuce and peas. Yum.

Lizards and chameleons and snakes,
just a few of the loved kingdom animals
who mask their lives in nature for safety reasons.

And finally cacti. Prickly bois
full of sustenance for someone lost
within hills of roasting orange. (Not green.)

Trick question. They are all premium.
