Country Study

colour poem.

Green

Green is the colour of a turtle

Green tastes like lime in your cold drink

Green smells like grass

Green sounds like the green water  

A little piece of my fantasy story

like a portal popped up. I touched it with my finger and then got sucked in the phone and am sitting on a bench in the middle of a prison.

My favorite Quote

Limerik

There was a boy named Greg

It smelled like egg

It fell in a pond

Found a woad

And now pour Greg is a peg.
