Verdigris

Verdigris (Sphere 1) - an art work by T Newfields The radiance
of dark malachite crystals
and glitter of shiny chromium sheets
The patina
of corroded bronze sculptures
and chlorophyll-intoxicated leaves in spring		 Verdigris (Sphere 2) - an art work by T Newfields
Verdigris (Sphere 3) - an art work by T Newfields The luster
of spotted frogs on lilies
and lights of vehicles that speed
The tint
of pointed pine needles
& emerald hues of foggy heaths		 Verdigris (Sphere 4) - an art work by T Newfields
Verdigris (Sphere 5) - an art work by T Newfields The intoxication
of thick rainforests
& shimmer of arboreal centipedes
This world has so many reasons
to celebrate green!		 Verdigris (Sphere 6) - an art work by T Newfields
