Inspired by the Song "Catch the Rainbow", 9/19/2024, for the Glenn Hughes Poetry Contest sponsored by Robert James Liguori
We were lonely, Our children newly grown. If only, we could find someone for our own. Apart from our kids, our first marriages weren't great. They hit the skids more than ten years ago, plus eight. We learned to survive until the day we caught a leprechaun - nabbed him alive, and we had something to dream upon. And so, the two of us wished and thought we caught a rainbow, and our leprechaun was on the spot. You were a beauty, Your colors were to have and hold. It was my duty to be your pot of gold. Naive like kids, we'd caught a rainbow it had seemed, but fate forbids, and we hadn't caught what we had dreamed.
