The sky before you is alight with yellow fire,

            Glowing hazily—

            Like the smoking branches of a burning evergreen.

For the first time in a long time,

I went for a long walk outside today,

And it got me thinking about the colour green.

A happy clattering greets an open door, 
Hurried, pattering nails click on the linoleum floor;   
Around the corner emerges a hurtling missile, 
A familiar fur coat, instantly visible.
