Copper Oxidation and the Subway

I watch the blur of green trees
As the train speeds past

I see layers of graffiti on the overpass
The most recent tag green

I pick at the peeling green vinyl
On my backpack

I scuff the toe of my shoe
Against a green penny stuck to the floor

The subway car is full of people
Passing time
Passing life

Emerald Escape

Eyes of emerald green
Wading pools
Surface so serene
Rippling undertow unseen

Sunny and 22 degrees; the snow has receded a bit, and spring is fighting a tough battle.

Sunday Trees #321 010718 & Haiku

thoughts of warm days and
verdant trees fuel fortitude
on a frosty night
