Pink Emeralds Window Dressing
I am surrounded by a thousand shades of green:
jade, forest, sage, emerald among those with names.
In these trees, even sky, shadows and flowers
seem green - blue, gray, yellow become secondary.
Tomorrow, my window will wake to a surprise.
Greenish gems will turn to ruby and pearl pink
as our giant rhododendron bursts into bloom.
For a few days, we will be rich as Faberge.
