The Wearin’ O’ the Green

It’s time to shed this winter white.

(The sight’s been lovely and serene, but…)

Spring is nigh (collective sigh),

and Gaia should be wearing green.

This ice and snow must simply go.

Let flowers, birds and leaves convene

and melt that frozen crystal sheen

to a more congenial aquamarine.

Those silver tints are cool and bright

but springtime brings a warmer light

and begs a more becoming sight.

The white is sweet, but I confess:

I’d much prefer your emerald dress.
