green

like life, which slowly unfurls its sleeping fronds
through the slog of summer
through fields with ticks and the expanse they hide in
a slow cricket, a thin trickle, a low hum of wings
there is a sound of green which can be
either light or heavy
depending on how you breathe it in.

Day 21: Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that repeats or focuses on a single color. 

This is the beginnings of a potentially longer poem contrasting the different types of greenery and how they make me feel throughout the seasons. Green’s my favorite color, I knew I had to write about it somehow but what flowed from my fingers wasn’t what I expected! The surprise of creative writing is always a part of the fun.
