POPO 2025 — Day 17 — (chlorophyll coloring)

Posted by Lisa or Li on

(chlorophyll coloring)

Why do blue and green make
such a perfect color combination?
Chlorophyll and hydrogen each
have three syllables.
Blue and red from sun set
into leaves and green bounces
into our eyes through the sky.
Blue light scatters because
of the way it travels.
Sun’s white light wiggles,
worm-like, lazy-prismed
sky stealers. Clouds keep
to Grandfather’s ways.

      Me too, Dwight. I looked up how color is seen by the human eye for this one.

        And also, the iphone lens sees color way better than the human eye!

        My favorite combo is yellow and green…I think because it was my first school’s colors and they stuck with me.

    Love the ending especially:
    Sun’s white light wiggles,
    worm-like, lazy-prismed
    sky stealers. Clouds keep
    to Grandfather’s ways.
