Rainbows On Earth

~

Vibrancy dictates the fronds of the season,

silently petals emerge from their sleep

Filling a valley in need of a reason,

searching for meanings projected to keep

 

In between stones on a gravel laced flooring,

seeking the light of an inviting sky

Thirsting for rain in their dreams of exploring,

roots travel deep, through the soil they ply

 

Fragrant aromas on winds gently flowing,

summoning bees with the nectar of spring

Pastels in portraits of faces now glowing,

rainbows on earth is the promise they bring

 

Nature begins where the eye tends to wander,

welcoming all who expect something grand

Painting a canvas in brushstrokes to ponder,

offering beauty all over this land

I can feel the wistful daydreams of Spring. This is one of those pieces that makes me wonder--is this a poem, or a gorgeously detailed landscape painting?

Thanks, what a nice thing to say

As always, such fine meter. Distinct and thoughtful scenes of hours ahead: yet - another season slowly coming to life after a well deserved renewal via sleep. If it's magic rather than horticultural science, does it really need a label! Your poem says it all, willweb.

Thank you Emma for always leaving such nice words for me to find.

There are some folk who think rhyming poetry comes a poor second to prose, when written this well it is proses' equal and more :)

[willweb]

Thanks Gee. I do the other too but really enjoy when a rhymer starts flowing and comes together right before my eyes. : )

This sounds like the arrival of Spring and with us knee deep in the cold white stuff, it is something I would gladly welcome

[willweb]

That makes two of us. Thanks my friend
