Earth Colours

Dark brown,
white drifts down,
covers,
clears;
myriad blades
pierce, spread:
green up;
soon the glades
lush spattered,
patterned red,
yellow, pink, blue;
in heat hot
green fades
yellowing;
cooling, cold
(a burst of red, rust, gold);
the hues rot down
to dark earth-brown
to shield and nourish
the next green flourish.

Heat, cold, rise, fall Nature
Heat, cold, rise, fall Nature's seasonal colouring book.Rhiannon Subtle yet strong sound echoes of consonants and sometimes rhymed assonance to match the movement, like music and like Life itself with it's thrusting swish forward. I like It

Hi Rhiannon,
Hi Rhiannon,
I agree the colours we have here on our planet are wonderful. It's only when you really come to think about it or read a piece like your poem that you realize just how incredibly lucky we are to have them.
Thank you for sharing.
Jenny.

the dreamcoat
Your poem made me think of the musical about Joseph, where his technicolour dreamcoat is described. Lovely, magical.
