Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Haiku

Rainbows From Above and Below

splashes of color
over a gray horizon
darkness and light

mud puddles reflect
muted hues of Heaven
tears mix with rain

under a streetlamp
an unexpected brilliance
absorbs the shadows

stormclouds have parted
revealing a golden sun
rainbows fade away
