Rainbow Whimsy Inspired By Catch the Rainbow

Written: December 11, 2024, for contest Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori ________________________________ When dusk strikes, the magic swirls, In the grasp of dawn, a wispy heart twirls. The shades waltz as a painter brush whirls, In a vacuum night, dream faintly furls. We whimsey we'd catch the rainbow past, Ride the wind whispers in a peaceful blast. Sail aboard ships of wonder over skies so vast, Still, life's intricate yarn holds shadows cast. With each glitter and moonbeam embrace, Warm mutters soothe, eradicating the trace. A crystalline elixir, hope unending grace, In a chaotic world, I'll waltz amid the space. So hear the moon croon, as the world feels right, Through lilac and lavender, our hopes bear flight. In the bittersweet dance of our love’s pure light, We embrace the shades, and in time, we unite. From periwinkle skies, where stars softly bite, To obsidian hoops, in the gloom of the night. The elixir of life offers sweet, gentle height, And while sunrise glows, we dream in spite. The crimson and green, in dawn’s golden light, As hope drips from vials, crystalline and bright. With each ebbing moment, pain feels contrite, Yet dreams linger on, with a soft, tender bite. So bless me, as the dawn’s light breaks, With glimmers of hope that the dawn makes. In every hue, from crimson to blue ice flakes, A kaleidoscope of dreams, pure and slake. From blue skies to lavender pillows, I shall find my path home by shadows. In this upholstery of wonderful bliss, So bless me, bless me, with dawn kiss.

Pleased to be reading anew your masterly poems. This one is superb with a choosy diction, flowing rhythm and elegant rhymes. Appreciated all the stanzas, particularly the following one :"From periwinkle skies, where stars softly bite, ......... And while sunrise glows, we dream in spite." I would like to take this opportunity to wish that the Light that lights all lights brighten your life and that of those near and dear to you on Christmas Day and everyday.

This is such an evocative poem. I love how you have woven imagery of dusk and dawn into a a powerful introspection of love hope and dreams.Your projection of light and shadow captures a bittersweet yearning, while the vibrant hues and celestial metaphors paint a vivid emotional landscape. It's a beautifully intricate ode to resilience, unity, and the solace found in fleeting yet eternal moments. Wonderful write. A fave for me. ^___^ JCB

'vacuum night, dream furls/each ebbing moment, pain feels contrite' words of every hue flows gently but sure... refreshing to read Glenn your way dear poet. Happy writing.
