How green, how green was my valley?

Lush golden    
Before the takers trod through      
      
     
Daisy's forming chains    
Singing merrily merrily      
Hummingbirds sipping from buttercups      
A gentle breeze seldom disturbs daffodils      
     
Morning dew drops scent lingers    
Butterflies boldly boasting who can steal the most kisses      
Sunflowers standing attendance as far as eye can see      
     
Glorious sunburst hues      
Reds      
Orange      
Pink      
As the wild roses pray, behold eden      
     
     
Pernicious noxious smog encircling horizons  
Putrid stained pox  marking once fertile ground      
The singed metallic stench  
of rotting iron corpses permeates
