The Flash Of Green

have you ever seen
the flash
of green
at sunset the sun
lowers to below
the water unseen
and there
above it shines
an emerald light
a magical glow
if the water catches
the sun just right
doesn’t happen very often
and last just a moment
out of time
as long as I’ve
been looking only
once made it mine
waiting I’ve seen
dolphins and manatee
playing in the splash
but I still watch to see
the jewel of the gulf
showing off its emerald flash

Sounds like a beautiful scene in reality, I've never seen it myself, but through your poem I got a wonderful glimse.

OneSlickLady~
I have seen it ... and you have poeticized it perfectly~

And along the breaking waves on Flagler Beach, the light rolls at night lighting up each wave in undulating neon~
It's an awesome sight !

Love this piece~
