Of all the colors in all creation...Green has to be my favorite one of all. Without green there wouldn't be any flowers, foliage, trees, veggies, the air that we breathe...it contains all the magic of the world in it's color... I wrote the following poem for Earth Day, but I think it fits for this contest and explains my feelings perfectly on the color GREEN....
Green, so softly green does my garden grow
Dew drops in the morning mist appear to shimmer
captured exquisitely on a spider's spun web
Prisms of light dance in the sunlight that shows through
Sparkling diamond like across the lush growth as if
painted by glimmer.
Green, so softly green does my garden grow
Little gray green frogs playing hopscotch on
the fallen tree limbs
A baby Opposum has lost it's way...seeking
safe haven in my green heaven
Creatures big and small are drawn into my
little world of green only on a whim
Little green Lizards lie lazily in the sun's heat
As a little feral black cat tries to play cat and mouse
almost by my feet.
My friend the Peacock suddenly strolls by
causing the little cat to jump and fly
A Bluebird lands on a hanging basket, looking
for worms it seems.
Butterflies flit in and out - my little green haven
with life just teems.
I sit in meditation surrounded by nature's glorious beauty
Relaxed, refreshed beyond all imaginings....
Thank you Mother Earth.

I love green too, and one of my grandsons has always said it was his favorite color. Even when he was so young, he pronounced it "gween".

There is nothing quite like green, so restful. What a wonderful poem, thank you for posting it xxxx
Thanks for that wonderful Green poem. When I was a kid I listed Green as my second fav color after Purple. Now sometimes Blue will be my second favorite, but I think shades of and combinations of Blue and Green are now ranked as my second! ;-) Sassy (Deb)
I sit from my window all winter long just waiting for a glimpse of green to show me the first signs of Spring. Green represents to me that I have made it through another long cold winter and won another battle with depression once again!
I am a hunter green person.

Green, all that is nature, is something I know I couldn't live without. Your words were a perfect compliment to such a color!
