Oh! Green, Stay Green! Poem by Valsa George
Oh! Green, Stay Green!
In the brilliant spectrum of rainbow hues,
Oh, Green! Thou art a ravishing shade.
You glow and fade in distant skies,
You hide beneath the oceans deep,
You make the Earth so cheery to live,
You ward off famine and assure wealth,
You signal movement and ensure health,
You sooth the eyes and cool the hearts.
In the brilliant spectrum of rainbow hues,
Oh, Green! Thou art a ravishing shade.
Green is the garb; God gave the Earth to wear,
Green is the harbinger of blooming spring,
Green – the forests that is home to beasts,
Green – the meadows, where the cattle graze,
Green – the prairies that stretch afar,
Green – the lawns that adorn the homes,
Green – the tuft of grass that grows beneath,
Green – the unripe fruits that hangs from boughs.
In the brilliant spectrum of rainbow hues,
Oh, Green! Thou art a ravishing shade.
But Alas! The Green is fast fading out,
The verdant Earth, turned into an arid stretch,
Life made so horrid for man and beast,
And Nature mourns her doleful plight,
Toil hard to usher the Green again,
Never let the trees fall and rot,
Take from Nature just enough to make you go,
And keep in reserve what is due for the ones to come!
In the brilliant spectrum of rainbow hues,
Oh, Green! Thou art a ravishing shade.
We should keep our planet green but we are cutting the forests and making tall buildings.................10
This is very inspiring and the best one on nature ever read....Valsa........great write....10
Peace! 'Never let the trees fall and rot'. Nice piece of work.
'Toil hard to usher the Green again, Never let the trees fall and rot, Take from Nature just enough to make you go, And keep in reserve what is due for the ones to come! ' - I lend my voice to this heartfelt cry! Green is indeed a 'ravishing shade'!
how come PH shows a submission date of 2009? and NOW i see i commented in 2013 on this and you commented (first) on my 'Green' poem. and i also put in MyPoemList back then! ! bri (:
i could say a lot about this lovely (in structure and description) poem, mostly 'positive', but let me only say (due to lack of time/space, ha ha) : nice poem. to MyPoemList. Thanks for sharing. may you NEVER get the dreaded green skin. use makeup if you MUST be green! ! bri (:
Brilliant spectrum of rainbow motivates mind with its green colour. Sometimes this glows and fades in sky. Life and nature both are made basing up on greenness of green colour. Green is the brilliant spectrum of rainbow. Wonderful message is transferred through this poem...10
a one colour poem brilliantly written so in fact that I feel envious of your colourful descriptive writing? ............well penned.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.

valsa, i enjoyed this. and thanks for the comment on my poem Green. may you always have enough green in your life. i looked for a poem which might offer my thoughts about conservation and/or global warming but i failed to find one on PH; i know i have some written down. i do pride myself in trying to conserve natural resources (and often succeeding) . we often don't flush our toilet, we compost food wastes, and recycle paper, plastic and glass. we water plants with some water we have already used, but, yes, we also use water straight from the faucet unfortunately. we almost never wash the car and i turn shower water off when i'm not really needing it (same with when i brush my teeth) . HOWEVER, other than giving a little money to conservation/environmental groups and to groups which promote birth control and euthanasia (both of which help save resources) , i can not say i am much of a player in promoting OTHERS to conserve resources. AND i do not claim to believe that all people are entitled to equal shares in life now or in the future. even if i felt that way there doesn't seem to be any way that the ideal could be attained. as for global warming: in being conservation-conscious i hope to lessen global warming....... maybe the air temperature will increase about a ten billionth of a percent less due to my efforts. and i also feel that perhaps if global warming is caused by humans (and of course some believe it is not so or not entirely so) then perhaps the species will just have to adapt or perish. and would that be so bad in the GREATER SCHEME of things in the universe? ? i don't suppose you expected such a long comment, but HEY i AM retired! thanks for sharing. bri p.s. i DID find another poem on PH with green in the title. Mongolian Green Baby Bottoms. but feel free not to read it.
Thank you so much Bri for taking your time off to make such a beautiful comment on my poem way back in 2013 and now for the honour given to me by sending it to your poem list!
