Color me Green





Color Me Green


green is my signal
escape and goodbye
time it is flying 
shape-shifter am I

transformed by mountains
forests deep green
fresh air and rivers
unspoiled and clean

green means renewal
harmony .. life
absence of malice
conflict and strife

color me greenly
from head to my toe
carry me gently to
where the winds blow

moving and changing
feeling alive
green is my colour
place where I thrive

    Helen, I like the concept of motion loving green. Our world appears from a distant to be predominately blue but second color would be green. You might get to be some sensuous, like here, "color me greenly from head to my toe." Guess it deprnds, ... My one word descriptor will be "cute".

    I like how you've started with green for go - escape and goodbye - which lends your sonnet its sense of freedom. Green is such a free colour, which is also conveyed in the flying of time and being transformed by nature. I can almost breathe that 'crisp fresh air'. I love the phrases 'color me greenly' and 'carry me gently'placed one above the other.

    Ah, yes, the vivacity of green is perfect for such a spirit. I love all the action, both progressing and comforting, in this sonnet. Well-penned.

    Love this stanza, Helen! Green affords a lucid look into wanting to be nice. Not many have this privilege Great rhyming, Ma'am!

    Oh, Helen, I am along for this ride! You had me from the very first lines - "time it is flying / shape-shifter am I" is my favourite.

    I had to read about shape-shifters again. Yours is better than most.
    And yes, I still like your green.
