Rainbow

dark
                                           heavy
                                           clouds
                                          unrolled
                                     and dampened
                                          the dry
                                           earth.
                                          Slowly, 
                                       from behind
                                   the cloud curtains,
                                        with jetting
                                          rays the
                                             sun
                                         came out
                                     and brushed a
                                            jazzy
                                             arc
                                           in the
                                             sky.

Hey Patri, I’ve written a couple of poems featuring rainbows and really wish I’d thought to call them Jazzy arcs. Congrats on your win in Kim’s contest. Terry
