The Colour Green!

Why is the sea so green today,
not grey, brown,
or quaggy blue...?
How is the sea so green?

It seems the mermaids
have increasingly developed
great savour for green;
painting, polishing, splashing
green on all greens:
exactly like the original shade card
of our ancestral old ocean’s themes.

This is how the sea is green,
so green today,
not grey, brown
or quaggy blue!
