Notes About The Poem

The Beauty of Goodbye

in bright formation
gay hued birds take capri skies
farewell to the north

pink dawn mistiness
and night nowhere to be found
so long silken dark 

the storm has vanished
in its place rainbow colors
good riddance tempest

at the end of day
at last one beautiful death
hues of sweet sorrow

Gay-hued birds and rainbow colors. We have flooding over here! I loved the rainbows when I lived in Hawaii! They were the best. :)

I'll bet you enjoyed many scenic delights in beautiful Hawaii, including gorgeous rainbows. Hope those flood waters recede soon. :D

Going south you should get wonderful weather. I said should, because we are in May, the air is still a bit cold and it is all grey ugly clouds. Where is my beautiful May?

It is grey here where I am, too. I guess we'll find beautiful May on another sunny day. :D

Hi Evelyn, Though your poem is conceptually interesting, I tend to enjoy it more when they are about death; death when its opposite is suffering, and what comes on the heels of that; nothing but storms, in the end, have a great night and best regards
