Celadon, chartreuse and jade,
Viridian, khaki and mint,
Olivine, willow and lime,
Avocado, turquoise and pine,
Emerald, clover and teal,
Asparagus, myrtle and moss,
Bottle green, olive and shamrock -
There’s never been a simple green;
Such tones and shades are nature’s paean,
Colours that soothe whenever seen,
In forest, field or verdant dene.

  3. Brilliant! I love colour names and green is one to produce loads. Doesn't the word chartreuse just roll off the tongue so well?

  7. Hundreds of years ago when I was in college, I tried to write a poem about "the many hues of nature's so-called green". Never did finish it. I like this.
