This is the 18th day of National Poetry Writing Month, and the prompt today is to write a poem that begins and ends with exactly the same word. If you want to join in the fun there’s still plenty of time. Visit this site:

I was inspired on this challenge to use free verse, which I rarely use. Moreover, I was inspired to write two separate poems for this particular prompt. This is my second poem. The first appears in its own post previous to this one.
Green is a liquid color.
It flows over my soul in a gentle way.
It runs through my feelings like a child at play.
It springs up in me like an April day.
The most liquid of colors is green.

Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the encouragement. These two for day 18 were a little far out, but trying for a poem a day is starting to make me have to dig deeper.
Very good Sandra.
Hey, thanks, Dennis. I thought maybe it was a little far out, but it’s just something I felt rather strongly. And I’ve noticed that green has become one of my favorite colors over the past year. Blue has always been my most favorite, with yellow a very close second. But I have never had any real affinity for green. Odd, because yellow and blue together make green, right? Well, anyway, this past year I realize I have been powerfully drawn to green for some reason. Thus, my new poem.
