Ode To the Rainbow

Like after a dalliance, my heart bleeds when your ephemeral stay
comes to an end.
You are the cynosure
of all eyes.
Your multi-colours as soothing as an embrocation
the distressed heart's emollient.
Your arch is the envy
of great architects.
Thy colour blend is fit to make
an artist faint
Your beauty is ineffable Too sublime for a pastiche. O Rainbow! Are thou rain's lagniappe to the sky? O Rainbow! Thou forever are our eyes' delight!
