Here is one of my Green poems from my latest collection: 'The Book of Irregular Sonnets.'<br /><br />TREES<br /><br />'The older I get the more<br /> I prefer trees to people.<br /> Trees don't argue, fuss and fight<br /> Or keep you up half the night.<br /> No, they simply provide shelter<br /> From the daily helter-skelter.<br /> They're green (my preferred colour)<br /> And they stand there tall and proud;<br /> They look like one another<br /> So they seldom draw a crowd.<br /> My favourite is the linden tree<br /> Or maybe the horse-chestnut<br /> But if you made an inventory<br /> Then they'd all look pretty great.<br /> Where would we be without our trees?<br /> Struggling to breathe, upon our knees!'<br /><br />Best wishes from Simon R.
