VERDIGRIS: A celebration of green The radiance of dark malachite crystals & glitter of shiny chromium sheets The patina of corroded bronze sculptures & chlorophyll-intoxicated leaves The luster ah spotted frogs on lilies & lights of vehicles that speed The tint of pointed pine needles & emerald hues of foggy heaths The beauty of dense rainforests & shimmer of arboreal centipedes Our world has so many reasons to celebrate green! Noel: Why rave about green? Tara: I dunno, but can't you sometimes sense the fantastic green energy ah life? Orapan: (frowning) Money i$ dah only "green energy" mo$t people urr intere$ted in. Tara: Nah. It's a poor substitute for dah feeling ah being alive. ===================================================================================== from Celebrations ah Song: Rejoicing Through Art, Poetry & Narratives with T Newfields SUMMARY: Some thoughts about the wonder of the color green.
