Radiant Rainbow

In our garden the sweet peas are climbing
I can’t wait until they are in flower
The sun’s out I see its face smiling
but it hides at the approaching shower

My garden enjoys the rain drops
and quickly the deluge will slow
I love the petrichor once the drops stops
And I observe the most glorious rainbow!

Rico Leffanta Date: 4/3/2020 1:56:00 PM There is never a shortage of rainbows in Hawai'i, and it is ever so easy to find the end of one, but the menehune do not leave pots of gold there, just fragrant flowers!

Michelle Faulkner Date: 4/2/2020 4:21:00 PM This is certainly full of cheerful spirit - your sweet peas sound adorable! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 4/2/2020 4:33:00 PM There us a large dose of poetic licence as they are only about 6 inches tall lol - the seeds were from my late mother in law's garden and I found them in our seed box and miraculously they germinated after many years:-) hugs jan xx
