Rainbow

Rainbow


       Rooftops glistening after summer rain,

       Arcs of colour cross fast clearing skies;

       Illuminated droplets now remain.

       Nimbus clouds part behind sharp showers, whereby

       Bright suns rays shine on the rain soaked plain,

       Overhead returning birds soar and fly,

       Weather for magical rainbows in the sky.

I can see the after-rain in the sun, and smell that special scent too. Congratulations :)

Great Acrostic Barry. Really good imagery here. Here in Alberta we get double rainbows here on the prairie. I just love them. Good job. God Bless and a seven from me. JB
