Tapestry yarn and embroidery floss
come in 500 shades —
200 of them are greens.
This is the time of year when you know why.
They’re lighter yellower now,
settling in summer to darker bluer tones.
Except for a few with a different plan
Downhill towards the weeping cherry
not growing up like most trees
but ever wider
making a tree house on the ground.

You’d think a thousand shades of green
would be enough for all new leaves.
But some species will not begin that way
and some will never turn.
It’s a lifestyle choice,
from once upon a time.
Yet for leaves the brontosaurus gazed and grazed on,
gentle giant just last week recovered from oblivion,
green is good enough.
