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

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/27/2017 2:44:00 PM wow, very gorgeous imagery. I"m loving this! Login to Reply Dale Gregory Cozart Date: 6/27/2017 3:05:00 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.

Chris Green Date: 6/26/2017 11:41:00 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.

Jan Allison Date: 6/26/2017 11:25:00 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 Login to Reply Dale Gregory Cozart Date: 6/26/2017 11:49:00 AM Thanks, Jan. I just ran them this morning. I've been thinking for a while about how to describe the scene.
