Sonnet to Green

Sonnet to Green. By Jo-Ann Hughes

Buds are bursting to blue skies;

strands of green poke in white snow,

an arc, separating dull brown tries,

a boarder where spring flowers grow.

Yellow sun reaches cold earth;

fronds of green fun bathe in winter dawn,

red ovals fatten in lights’ morn search,

as darkness gives way to life new born.

Sun faces open fields of grass;

rays welcoming joy of being back,

gold brown birds dance en masse,

while grey gulls tease a raven black.

The silent sounds of peace on earth

Greet green in greater songs of birth.
