Pea Green

John RC Potter

 

Pea.

            Green.

With.

            Envy.

Sibling rivalry,

but not related.

Curious that you are

pea green

with envy.

Envy.

            With.

Green.

            Pea.

Not siblings,

but long-time friends.

Strange that you are

pea green

with envy.

 

Perhaps you’re jealous,

more than envious.

With your leonine ways,

and need for praise.

 

We’re not an Owl and Pussy-Cat,

and this is not a pea-green boat;

flush those feelings away like shat,

so that our friendship stays afloat.

 

Pea-Green…
