green leaves unfold in dawn’s early light
reaching for the warmth of summer
heart-shaped, oval, linear,
thick, slender, feathery
bending and swaying
crooning ancient
melodies
until
dusk

My favourite colour, I recognize all but 1 of the leaves, have a great week.
Thanks, Amy! It's my favorite too. You must know a lot about plants to guess all but one of them correctly. :)
Fabulous greens Siobhan. I could ID four out of the six
Thanks, Brian! 4 of 6 isn't bad, especially when they're close ups.
Keeping it short, love the vibrant green in your photos, love the poem Siobhan.
