I met a Green Man today, queuing for a cuppa at the drinks stall at the National Forest's Wood Fair at Beacon Hill, Leicestershire.

Wild Man of the Woods

For wonder of his hue men had,
In his semblance to be seen:
He moved like one gone mad--
And overall, bright green.

He's very good. Somehow, even while he was waiting in the queue for tea, it felt as though he had wandered in from another world.

He is a professional story-teller and musician (http://www.songandstory.co.uk/). I didn't listen to much of his performance, though, because it was primarily for the kids, and there was a lot else going on.
