Creative Poetry: Emerald

Green, as it happens is considered to be a sign of life, fertility and at the same time associated with negative connotations such as envy or sickness. So if I were to explore where all the concept of green could go, we would read this poem right here. All yours.



When she walks down that aisle
Draped in green and silver of style
Pulls me back to yesteryears awhile
Allah's green paradise spreads every mile

Like the beds of the oceans wide

Like the emeralds on the God king's side

Like the royal blue-green of the peacock's hide

The simple beauty of a maiden's arms tied

When men talk of the mermaid's song

Of beauty, curved and dark locks long

They break down with an emerald song

Body and soul made to lead you wrong

The bright green of a dragon's eye
The soulful moan of a lusty sigh
The lush fields of autumn nigh
The poison of love that makes you cry

Dew drops that wash the grass so clean

Every morning that makes life pristine

Bedrocks of rivers aquamarine

A kiss sweet as saccharine

For it defines progress and blossoming

As it stands for royalty - queen and king,

For love and jealousy that life may bring

And every tune the songbird may sing.
