Challenge of the Week CXIV
It's All About the Green. You can write about anything you want, but the color green must appear somewhere in your writing, either in passing, or as a theme. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Spectrum Experienced

Subdued world

Absent of vibrant colors

Accompanied Father for

65 years

Reds, yellows, greens

Hidden as muddy browns,

Blues muted to dull

Grays

A terrible shame,

A world half experienced

When surrounded by

Nature’s marvelous show

Father travels to

America’s Last Frontier

With his 3 children

In celebration of retirement

Half-pipe valleys,

Carpeted green,

Sprinkled with pinks and purples,

Meet cobalt sky

This trip MUST be

Fully experienced

With eyes capable of receiving

Such magnificent beauty

Children gift Father

Magical glasses,

He slides them on

“What do you see, Dad?”

“Oh    My God”

Father instantly transports

To an extraordinary world

Bursting with colors

Of the entire spectrum

Muddy browns, only the moose as

Vivid greens

Visit his eyes now,

A world fully experienced!
