John Lawless Poet Free verse

Driveway Rainbows

Soft rain had blurred the lines
Softened the edges
Frizzed the sharpness
Of artistic angst

Smiles drooped,
fingers grew thinner,
somehow reaching out.

The eyes caught the raindrops
Blinked them into dappled blues
Noses spread in humor's humidity
Glasses sliding from their tips

They would all leave
Float away on a
Chalky rainbow river

Leaving us to wonder
Where do they go?

Paul Willason July 17, 2023 at 7:44 PM John, you are a master of making poetry out of ordinary experiences by the power of your imagination. Just bloody marvellous.... The eyes caught the raindrops Blinked them into dappled blues This is what poetry is about, making things fresh and alive.
