Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Imagism

White Rainbows

Sprinklers arc
white rainbows
over emerald grass
The jets 
burst
in nimbus shadows
geysering 
a shimmer 
of translucent flurries
under opal rays
Pools
of periwinkle ripple
and fountains
of lavender
sway
in a porcelain mist

Freddie Robinson Jr. June 28, 2017 at 3:35 PM I agree w/the other talented poetesses/poets, Dale ... such a delightful spray of images evoked by your fountain pen. Wonderful poem, made me feel clean all over. Love and more love to you and yours. Dale Gregory Cozart June 28, 2017 at 4:25 PM Thanks for stopping by, Freddie!

Andrea Dietrich June 27, 2017 at 2:44 PM wow, very gorgeous imagery. I"m loving this! Dale Gregory Cozart June 27, 2017 at 3:05 PM Thanks, Andrea! It's too bad I can only water the lawn three days a week at this time of year. And only for fifteen minutes! When winter comes it's only one day a week.

Tim Smith June 26, 2017 at 2:57 PM Amazing visual Dale Dale Gregory Cozart June 26, 2017 at 8:22 PM Thanks, Tim. Glad you liked it.

Chris Green June 26, 2017 at 11:41 AM You take the ordinary, the everyday things we see but perhaps don't notice enough and create beautiful poetic mosaics that bring them all into focus. I love this gazing at the prism created by the sun hitting the water from a sprinkler. Very cool. Dale Gregory Cozart June 26, 2017 at 11:50 AM Thanks, Chris. 7 am is the right time to see the effect which I did this morning.

Jan Allison June 26, 2017 at 11:25 AM What a wonderful vivid description Dale your imagery reminds me of the sprinkler on our lawn - just need a hot day to use it as the forecast looks like rain:-( hugs Jan xx Dale Gregory Cozart June 26, 2017 at 11:49 AM Thanks, Jan. I just ran them this morning. I've been thinking for a while about how to describe the scene.
