Greenest green I've ever seen
columns of foliage sprouting up
surrounding hawks, grasshoppers,
squirrels and woodchucks.
Greenest green garden state
garden of youth hidden away
just a bit, there is even a path
no one can make you walk
Greenest green beyond the trees
pastures built for electricity
the alleys along which our power flows
paved down to grass and cobbling stones
Greenest green I've ever seen
rolling over the hills between
steeling beams reflecting
Chester New Jersey a garden of dreams
Run right through it
harvest the sounds,
the sunlight, the rivers trickling down.
the hills all surmountable,
little achieves
this peace is a boat in a summer breeze
I like this poem. It reminds me of Federico Garcia Lorca's Poem "Romance Sonambulo"
ReplyDeleteGreen, how I want you green.
Green wind. Green branches.
The ship out on the sea
and the horse on the mountain.
With the shade around her waist
she dreams on her balcony,
green flesh, her hair green,
with eyes of cold silver.
Green, how I want you green.
Under the gypsy moon,
all things are watching her
and she cannot see them.
Green, how I want you green.
Big hoarfrost stars
come with the fish of shadow
that opens the road of dawn.
The fig tree rubs its wind
with the sandpaper of its branches,
and the forest, cunning cat,
bristles its brittle fibers.
But who will come? And from where?
She is still on her balcony
green flesh, her hair green,
dreaming in the bitter sea............
It's a long poem.... so you can read it when having some spare time. Chester New Jersey certainly looks like "a garden of dreams" by the way you describe it. I went to visit my brother in Savannah, Georgia this weekend & it was real pretty up there too :)
thanks anay georgia is very nice we once road a road called the tail of the dragon there it was through an epic green forest with like 40 bends in a mile or something like that
