This Color is on Its Way!

What Is Green?

Green is the grass
And the leaves of trees
Green is the smell 
Of a country breeze.
Green is lettuce
And sometimes the sea.
When green is a feeling
You pronounce it N.V.
Green is a coolness
You get in the shade
Of the tall old woods
Where the moss is made.
Green is a flutter 
That comes in the Spring
When frost melts out
Of everything.
Green is a grasshopper
Green is jade
Green is hiding
In the shade--
Green is an olive
And a pickle.
The sound of green
Is a water-trickle.
Green is the world
After the rain
Bathed and beautiful
Again.
April is green
Peppermint, too.
Every elf has
One green shoe.
Under a grape arbor
Air is green
With sprinkles of sunlight
In between.
Green is the meadow,
Green is the fuzz
That covers up
Where winter was.
Green is ivy and
Honeysuckle vine.
Green is yours
Green is mine.

I love the images in this poem: sprinkles of sunlight, green is hiding in the shade, the sound of green is a water-trickle. What images do you see.  You can illustrate any of the color poems from this week, or write one of your own- feeling a little blue? 
Maybe you are thinking, "It's a gray day." 
Did I skip your favorite color? Yellow, pink, gold, or brown? 
I would love to hear from you! please email me your poems, or pictures. I would love to show them off here!

🌈I hope your weekend brings you rainbows of color!!🌈
