bonfires green

•

"This spring as it comes bursts up in bonfires green"

- Opening line from poem "The Enkindled Spring" by D.H. Lawrence.

Indeed, the enkindled bonfires green,

eye-popping scintillating green,

because they have been too long gone green,

greener-than-any-other-green green

flaring from the damp earth.

Bonfires around the nature center, green.

Eyes too weary of winter's gray drink

deep the bonfires green

until their retinas scream with delight.

Yes, that green.
