Rainbow's End

Rain's fall ceased to spill upon the ground Clouds spent passed through the clearing sky  Sun's shine beamed brightness back to day Flaring light waves became a multi-hued display A rainbow's bend was set to color the sky To drape o'er high as woven tapestry In view the cloth of reverie's design With breadth of vista that does reach an end Not with kettles of gold and leprechauns  But golden none the less, from the quest

Very nice Dellena, I prefer your 2nd verse in this poem for the imagery that stands out so well. Rainbows are such a beautiful part of the end of a storm - (I saw one that was a triple arch over an open bridge months ago) and it was breathtaking. Enjoy "A rainbow's bend was set to color the sky", but think you could enhance the first verse as you did in the 2nd. Nice poem, blessings, Deni

Dellena, You have a talent for drawing the human condition into a tangible fabric. Your subjects lead each sentence, “Rain’s fall”, “Clouds spent”, Sun’s Shine”, “flaring Light”, “a rainbows bend”, all add instant poignancy to each line in the first stanza. “With the breadth of vista”, and later the ends of the rainbow; I am not left with a fairy tale of Irish cause, rather the quest of living, maybe the improvements desired, and that in the end, it is the journey, not the acquisition, that is the treasure. A very fine piece. I think on of your best!

Hi Dellena, I am a sucker for nature poems and this one is no exception. You have some lovely phrases, word selection and flow. I see you rhymed the first verse but not the second. Is there a reason for this or is it just the way it came out? I often see free verse with a little rhyming and your poem is not compromised by that. You have made the lines work even though the syllable count is not even. As far as I'm concerned the poem works as written. Well done. Best wishes, cheyenne
