Notes About The Poem

fogbow

The Elbow Hypothesis

There once was a fogbow so white,
Who cried, "All my colours took flight!"
Said Rainbow, "Your elbows
Keep bending your bow~~so
Each bend spills another colour outright!"

I've never seen a white rainbow before, and this is fantastic. The rhythm is extraordinary.

Yes it is very rare - actually the mist droplets are too small to split the light into colors.
