It occurs to me when thinking things through
That if we could colour chlorophyll blue
We  could have a world that looks brand new.

But then i think of Winter's grey
The green of spring would be away
The grass is blue  is what we'd say.

No longer there'd be a horizon to see
No difference between the land and the sea
It's clear the world isn't what it used to be

It's a mistake to throw out anything new
Simply because it never came from you.
But even I'm not too sure about blue.

Watching flowers grow so it might be seen
Hoping that some of them might turn out green
Wistfully thinking of what might have been

No longer the bluebird  would happiness bring
I'm not at all sure  the birds would now sing
Without the birds singing  what use would be spring

Colorado Blue spruce the pride of the lawn
would soon be cut down, every one of them gone.
No trees  that would hide the colour of dawn

When pictured from Space, the world may look blue
But i'll keep the green caring not about new.
And i'll never again buy a blue car, would you?

jGood fun poem.  Bulue is okay, in it's place.  But lets keep the other colors too.  Joyce

Great poem. Only one or two shades of blue would do on a car for me.

twinsgd--Another great one!  The man is on a roll.  This is very fun.  (By the way, my car is green! )
