Totally devoted to green
Oh Green,
I am so hopeful,
That the fields and the
trees will stay,
And fill my vista for
mile and miles,
Evoking the medium
wavelength triggers of the M cone cells in my eyes everyday.
Oh Green,
You are not blue.
More a Mixture of cyan
and yellow in the subtractive colour system in print,
One of the three
additive lights of screens,
The colour of a
spearmint.
Oh Green,
You so lovely,
As de Bono's creative
thinking hat.
The shine of Jade and
Emeralds,
The probably glow of
Schrödinger’s cat.
Oh Green,
I am so jealous,
Of your soft warm
natural hue.
And in the continuum of
colours of visible light,
You are located between
Yellow and Blue.

Curiously, I've just finished editing a version of this poem. A colourful start to the week.
Hope you're having fun on your hols.
Ash
Love the literal take on the theme! :-)
Thanks guys.
Yes Ash, I wrote this before I went away and thought, that would work in the secret book of poetry that will be published before Christmas called "the book of Colin" but shhhh, don't tell anyone :)
Lisa, it's a companion piece for "Saving of my love for Pluto" and "Love poem for the number 5"
