Picea omorika

_____________________________________

Who says these trees are evergreen?

Do the other shades go unseen?

This is the problem with labels.

*

Each month new tones come to the scene.

There are so many more than green.

This is the problem with labels.

*

Chartreuse, emerald, forest, citrine

Gold, crimson, coral, tangerine

This is the problem with labels.

*

Traits label omits is obscene

Trees so much more than evergreen

This is the problem with labels
