GREEN HUES
The mountains hid behind the mist
While worms wiggled, wet the earth,
Moist the delight of leaves and stems

Pitter patter, the memories flowed
Through streams of childhood stares,
Bare of shirts, the backs of boys frolic

Jumping, running, screaming their fun;
Which girls, never could have back then;
How horrid boys can be, in their world

So carefree, loud, and most times muddy
But the mountains hid, not because of
Their games; the mountains hid to spruce

The green of vegetative hues, to dazzle
When the sunlight returned, thereabout

  4. I much preferred playing with boys when i was at school - sadly all those societal rules force you to ditch the straightforward running around to the girlish mind games and tears!

  5. Which girls, never could have back then;
    How horrid boys can be, in their world

    A boy's world is envied when young for the freedom and uninhibited privilege. A girl's world is better with all the sophistication and elegance of beauty on reaching the teen years and beyond.Like the contrast Gillena!

  6. Like the worms are hidden in the soil, turning the old leaves to new soil, refreshing, so the mountains drink in the mist, until time to reveal the green of a new day! Beautiful poem!
