the rice fields are green in August
long and green
beneath summer sky
come September
they fade towards brown
but they are green in August
June and July
an ocean of green carpets the valley
a playground
for bird and sharp eye
the heron,
the egret,
the mallard
can be captured flying
between the green and summers blue sky
the rice fields are green in August
greener than in June and July
come September
as it gets close to harvest
they will fade brown
waving summer goodbye...

green was a hard one (these are the Sutter Buttes in Northern Cal - a few miles from where I live)
