Notes About The Poem

Rainbow Skies

What would skies be without the mist,
Clouds colored by the dawn, sun kissed?

Such splendor rising pink and blue,
Lavender, silver, gold spun too.

Their shapes float softly through the sky
Cast in hues of Apollo's eye.

Gold, contrasts birds in silhouette
While dawn shines through their misty wet

As clouds express their sweet refrain
And we are blessed by morning rain.

When rainbows form in misty skies
Clouds present treasures for our eyes.

Thank you very much for your generous comments Cona. They are much appreciated. This poem was written at dawn looking out toward Diamond Head. The volcanic smog we call vog presents beautiful sunrises and sunsets. ;-)
