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!

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

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.
