Monday WRites 235



Mars they say is the red planet, yet i have seen cartoon martians presented as green. Earth it is said is a blue jewel in the galactic planetscape, yet for all intents and purposes earth as we know the soil to be is brown. Tomatoes too are red, that is after they had been green and young. Perhaps a young martian is green.

    I like the use of colour in your haibun, Gillena, and the show-off bougainvillea brats in the haiku.

    Gillena - you make some pretty keen observations about the color of things. Perhaps that is some reassurance that we can grow up to be whatever we can dream. Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday, and have a peaceful week!

    Color is what we make it... and I do believe that young martians are green...

    I didn't know bougainvilla leaves are heart-shaped. That's cool. You've got me wondering about green and red martians, too. :-) Cheers, Gillena!
