Jeffry Cohan Poet Quatrain

My Father Ate My Mother and My Grandma Ate My Brother

NEVER  LIE TO THE SKY

You promised to make rainbows last forever
Primary colors that would refuse to fade
My belief in your vow proved I’m not that clever
I believed every promise you ever made

You said that whenever my eyes aimed for the sky
Wherever I looked toward where sparrows fly
I would see a rainbow that refused to die
But like so many promises it was all a lie

Blue was the color of your eyes and the sky
Yellow was the color of your hair spun of gold
You said red would remain as long as we’re together
And that a rainbow would still be there through inclement weather

You told me that rainbows were created for only me and you
A couple holding hands in a park on a breezy blessed day
But I learned rainbows eventually fade because that’s what they do
And along with our rainbows you also soiled and spoiled the Milky Way
