Rainbow Poems

Must be a string of poems,
Talented poets have done,
Rhymes penned 'bout rainbows,
Of heavenly design and
Beauty second to none.

Lyrics that rhyme, line after line,
Poking emotions each 'n every time.
Proding some giggles,
Or an occasional sigh,
Poems so cool 'n clever,
They'll make spirits fly.


Next, keep it goin', don't ya think!

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high,
Some day our spirits will soar,
In God's great bye and bye!

Where are the boomer poets with a cool string of rainbow lines?

Rainbow, string, line, cool

Just a quick line to let you all know,
My life is colourful, like a pretty rainbow.

The reason being, my childhood friend from afar,
Has come to visit for a week from America.

We have been friends since the tender age of nine.
Now she’s 58 and I’m 59.

We got squiggly crows feet around our eyes,
Our hair is shorter and we use the same dyes.

But our humour hasn’t changed in all these years,
Its cool entwining our arms, while laughing fun tears.

A string of memories, coloured red, blue and yellow,
Have filled this time with friendship; sweet and mellow.

Reminiscing of long lost by gone days,
Bring back vivid visions that were lost in a haze.

Strings of childhood pictures find their place again,
Which I will cherish in my mind and hope they remain.

I took my baby by her small hand
And grabbed the Crayons from the TV stand
We sat ourselves down, knee to knee
To color together, just her and me

"What should we draw?" I asked my child
"A rainbow, Mom," came reply with a smile
How nice, I thought, as we began
Choosing colors wisely for our curving strand

I watched as she drew the very first line
How small her hand looked up against mine
But it didn't stop her, as string by string
She intently drew the entire thing

I looked at her face, which registered glee
When completing her task, she knew she'd pleased me
My pounding heart tried to leap from my chest
As she jumped in my arms and put her head to my breasts

Her skin was smooth and cool to my touch
How in the world could one love so much
Like the promise for Noah, I knew I was blessed
With my own little rainbow, her head on my chest

From the cupboard I grabbed a round, large spool,
the colored STRING upon it was awsome, so COOL.

I had to be careful as the string was so fine,
To make sure the kite I attach to it wouldn't break the LINE.

Oh such beautiful colors, the reds, the greens and the blues,
they all but took my breath away, many colors all in a row.

I'll tell you what they reminded me of, a RAINBOW after a summers rain.

I just needed to let my fellow poets know how I loved your poems.

Favourite rainbow lines from my favourite poets:

Chatty;

Jabber;

Eagle Heart;

Gims;

EW, here's the fav from yours:

Maybe chick (or anyone else) will contribute.?!

If not, I'll offer new words...

time, vague, memory, connect

Edelweiss, Jabber, Eagleheart and Gims, I found it impossible to choose one line from your poems that touched me. They all did and do each time.
------------------------------------------

The clocks in the tower loudly chime,
they keep us abreast of the correct TIME.

I walk about town on my last leg,
No clue what I'm doing, my MEMORY is VAGUE.

If only my thoughts I could project,
I'm certain my thoughts and actions would soonCONNECT.

It is quite sad I think to be 93,
All of my faculties have begun deserting me.

Words:

vacation, celebrate, whirlpool, hummingbird

time, vague, memory, connect


Sometimes my mind seems terribly vague,
I see dots in my head
But they don’t connect
Into thoughts that are fluid
Enough to convey,
I sputter and spew, but only flustered words fall.

Frustrated
Weepy
Embarrassed
Not me
I figure by now
We’re all in a tizzy
Flustered and hectic
Twirling and dizzy

The world’s spinning crazy
No wonder a memory’s so hard to find
By the time I retrieve it,
It’s rolled off to the other side.

Sometimes my mind seems terribly clear
I see dots in my head
And they DO connect
Then I’m aware
So keenly aware
Of how often
I sputtered and spewed and flustered words fell.
