The coat
Spring dons its green coat, /
undertaking new life while /
wearing death beneath.

Still green
As days grow shorter, /
September’s green tomatoes /
still age on the vine.

The Park
Spring strolls through the park. /
Shaking green from her sleeves and /
Color from her eyes.

Drink the green
If the red runs out, drink the green,
though the green can be quite mean.
Served at room temp or a little warmer,
it is said to make you adore the former.
It will drive you out into the day,
groping, hoping to get away
from awfulness in your mouth
that tastes like a mouse gone south.

Green monk
Green monk of summer /
Bending toward the end of days. /
Seeding for the spring.

Green eye
The green eye of fall /
spies from between the gate slats, /
crouches with the leaves.

Leaf
The green drains away. /
The leaf dons its brittle coat, /
and waits for fall’s touch.
