Ekphrastic, Poetry, Word Prompt

Hazel

Written for Sue & Gerry’s Weekly Prompts
Colour Challenge
using the word ‘green’.
Here’s where the prompt took me.

Neither blue nor green but both at once
Her eyes shift color with the sun
Amber flecks like autumn’s dance
A hint of jade when day is done

Chameleon gaze that won’t stay still
Golden-green in morning’s glow
Soft as lichen on a hill
Warm as earth where wildflowers grow

What magic lets them change their hue?
Each glance reveals a different truth
In hazel eyes, the world breaks through
A prism holding fire and youth
