The Greener Grass
poem by:
Scribe Granted
Written
on Jan 13, 2017
Abundant with green pigmentation, not too low, not too lofty, standing lusciously Merely pecked by suns rays, making strong and sharp blades, to bounce back when by foot they are grazed. Lightly lilting in wind, my own, inferior condemned, I commend, blades move with grace Not pushed down by hard night rain, absorb water with strain, glistening with dew in the morning haughtily. I receive compliments about my own, a good introduction to home but cannot help observing short comings when lone. My neighbor waves "hi", I notice him holding similar eye, perhaps I am mistaken... Would my outlook ring true, in his point of view? In rankings I may have first place taken.

Grass is good?

It is sort of a play on the phrase "the grass is always greener on the other side" if that helps you when readiing

There is an aspect of noticing beauty in nature but the grass itself isn't very important as much as symbolic.
