Rainbow Girl

What a pretty girl...
Walking on the eyes of me
Smiling as the rain comes down
She is my rainbow...
May the sun stay here a while
So I can touch her and smile

In her company
I blow bubbles in the air
And I stare and watch her climb
Down the firmament
As her foot reaches the land
I lay in awe on the sand

Briefly there's a grey
Cloud that's jealous of my love
So he calls a thunderstorm
But I patiently
Cry until the drummers leave
...butterflies sing on my sleeve

Dancing down she comes
Dressed in colors of the world
Waiving at the land and sky
Flirting with my eye
How can I not love her, she
Kisses everything I see

What a pretty girl...
Walking on the eyes of me
Smiling as the rain comes down
She is my rainbow...
May the sun stay here a while
So I can touch her and smile

I LOVE this one, Johnny. Not sure I know sedoka although maybe I did it a long time ago for a contest? Is just one stanza a sedoka and you have done a series of them here. Truly this is one of my favorites of your poetry!

Very creative. These could easily be the lyrics to a song by someone like Neil Young. Well done! Regards, Robert.

Tender writing....well done! You asked me if I was in politics....no. I have been keeping in contact with my reps lately though. Sending emails trying to get my opinions out there. It is the least I can do. (:-}
