The Green Lady

She's a soft shade of green
A warm, soft shade
Light
And delicate as a single grass blade

But she ain't tame
That thang
Can be a green hot flame

Or a queen
Royal green
Aquamarine
Sea green queen

There's hints of blue, too
Clear sky, cool breeze blue
When she daydreams
It comes through

And gold
Rich honey gold
Shimmers like fairy dust
You'll only see
If you gain her trust

Warm white
Shades of cream
Bright yellow sunbeams
And sultry silver
That sparkles as it gleams

But that there shade of green

Like a dragon scale
Or a peacock tail

That there shade of green

It is
The same shade
Of green
As all
Green things
In heaven

I love this poem- it is beautiful and has really original images. And believe me, its hard to write a poem to a lady that doesn't sound corny! This one is like fresh air.
