A colour of the spectrum
Located between blue and yellow

Poor, green, not as fresh as blue
Or as pretty and bright as yellow

Yet, it's the colour associated with
Springtime, youth, hope and envy.

Ahh, beware the green eyed monster
Jealousy, verdant grows within.

Green the most important colour of Islam
Celtic Ireland, verdant paradise

Camouflage, hide, conceal, all green
Youth hides it's innocence

Innocence, shaken on the boughs
Malachite, verdant, verdigris

How odd this colour means so much to so many
Europe and the US attributes the colour to the Devil sickness & death

But spring is life
Not death

Green for go, green for environment,for
Death, malaise, poison, British racing green

Such a small colour
Such large meaning

Beware the colour green
It has too many meanings, to many connotations
