Notes About The Poem

Scattery Clouds

The beautiful, refreshing storm's just now ended,
And the gleaming sun peeks at strawberry fields,
Redbuds dance for joy, for the rain is suspended,
And exquisite birdsong follows the watery ordeal.

And the gleaming sun peeks at strawberry fields,
The zesty lemon clouds have begun their drifting,
And exquisite birdsong follows the watery ordeal.
Misty gloom has vanished, wild spirits now lifting.

The zesty lemon clouds have begun their drifting,
In this emerald world of colorful, fragrant flowers.
Misty gloom has vanished, wild spirits now lifting,
For after the splendid storm, pure beauty follows.

In this emerald world of colorful, fragrant flowers,
Redbuds dance for joy, for the rain is suspended!
For after the splendid storm, pure beauty follows,
The beautiful, refreshing storm's just now ended.

Wonderful pantoun which speaks the truth. It is always beautiful to admire nature after a bit of rain.

I love the way things are so fresh, clean and pretty as the sun emerges. Thank you for your thoughts.

Such a lovely pantoum, Evelyn, from beginning to end. Today was stormy here in Kentucky, however, and south of me, they've been devastated by flooding. Those storms were not so beautiful and refreshing.

Thank you very much for your kind thoughts on my pantoum, Milton. I fervently hope that better weather will soon be coming down your way. Evelyn
