Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

A Rainbow Sings

A Rainbow Sings

Prismatic rainbow graces sky many ways
 with brilliant hues of multicolored rays
 picturesque goniochromism sings to decorate
 a ketch with Tyrian purple sails out late

Sepia hue tinges this kaleidoscopic scene
 monolexemic shades threaten to richly preen
 majestic phenomena seen in sky embraces
 mists, vanishing clouds and aurorae traces

A Rayleigh Scattering sets rainbow apart
 miracle that sends opalescence to impart
 this sky mingling multitude of colors now 
 as red, orange, purple and yellow take bow

Interwoven within this prismatic awe inspiring view
The hopes and dreams of gentle poets like me and you!

Gary Bateman October 15, 2014 at 4:56 PM Robert, I checked out your most exquisitely written sonnet here. For most, you diction is probably overwhelming, as for me, "You are singing my song." I thoroughly enjoy verse that flashes with words and brilliance composed to MAKE ONE THINK!! I call this "Thinking Persons' Poetry to Its Fever Pitch." Simple, Medium, Hard, Extraordinarily Difficult -- to me its all good as long as the passion to commitment and sublime perfection is there. A "7" here my good friend or "7X7, " a "49." Best!! Gary

Robin Davis August 24, 2014 at 10:10 PM Robert This is so descriptively written with images that allow the reader to see this wonderful vision in their minds. Thank you for the sweet comment on my Fish poem.

Vera Duggan August 10, 2014 at 11:37 PM Robert brilliant write, but I do not pretend to understand some of the words, but very clever of you to put it altogether and I just love to see a rainbow in the sky, take care my friend.............Vera....... Robert Lindley August 12, 2014 at 9:37 AM Thanks Vera. Rainbows represent great Beauty and Hope. And Hope is always a beautiful thing....
