ADD TO MY FAVORITES
in the Australian Spring;
but come Summer it was brown,
when bush fires had their fling.
Green, green was the jealousy
of the man next door,
who had more money than Trump,
of that I was sure.
Green, green are the parrots,
tweeting in the trees,
their song echoing
in the morning breeze.
Green, green was her outfit
as she trod the red carpet,
enjoying envious glances
from those who went to market.
Green, green was the ignoramus
who refused to learn
the ways of the world,
which he did always spurn.
Green, green was the frog
who croaked in the bog,
punctuating the night
with sounds of his plight.
Green, green was the golf green,
where players aim their ball,
trying to get into the hole
in the middle of it all.
Green prawns are delicious,
for when they turn red,
boiling in the cooking pot,
so many can be fed.
Green cement is the target
of both man and beast,
wanting to leave their footprint
for when time has ceased.
Green, green are the fields
in France where once was war,
where bales of hay shine
with a hope of peace evermore.
Green, green is the bowling field
where men bowl the bowls,
to compete with each other,
to hit the white ball.
A greenback is a legal tender
In the U SofA,
where men compete to earn it
all the live-long day.
A green ban is put on bushland
by those who want to preserve
this and old houses
for time and posterity.
A Green Monday is a cicada
beloved by small boys,
who collect them in the summer,
one of childhood joys.
A green -house is a glass
building in which to grow,
plants that will perish
in heat, or frost, or snow.
A greenhouse effect
is created by man
using coal-fired heating
in spite of earth wide ban.
A green light on the road
is a sign telling cars to go,
to ensure the traffic
does evenly flow.

OH, I was one of those young boys in the summer who collected their shells and put them in small stick pens and called them our cows.
I liked your quick work.
Looking forward to seeing more of your poems.
Happy writing, and God bless - Trudy
