I Do Poetry Too

Here is a poem I recently did for the poetry writing class I am currently taking. The assignment was to repeat a color throughout. Naturally I chose my favorite- green.

the grass is Greener

Green.

the color of the grass outside my window, slowly turning
into the golden hue of death and dormancy
that fall brings.

Green.

the color of my room when I walk in, softly luring me
into the paler version of the same color
on my bed.

Green.

the color of my eyes you said were beautiful, secretly gazing
into yours as I stare at this old photograph
from back then.

Green.

the color of my heart when I knew you loved her more than me.

Green.

the color of new life emerging next year, silently growing
into a forest of dim memories fading
from my mind.

Green. the color of Hope.
