Rainbow

The other day I was lucky
enough, to see you; 

you made my blush 
you made me cry 
you churned the sky 
with every color 
known to man; 

God adjusted the lens 
I looked again, sure enough 
you streaked the sky 

with crayon shades on cue; 

Your repertoire of color
surpasses every dream.

What a lovely poem that personifies the rainbow so well! Sometimes our own speculation about things, like what causes a rainbow to form, gives us far more pleasure than the scientific explanation. This poem is now a new fave for me, Pixie Dust. Awesome! Hugs, Carolyn
