Best Rainbows Poems

in hyacinth and heather my true love dwells
and in lush lavender her bones rest in peace
no mere human can project nor can foretell
when in this life one's vitality may cease
yet this I know and of this I can be sure
that her soul was white as...

 Hey you
Don't let hate dominate.
Let love sate - animate

With the pain in your heart.
Set it free from the start.
Let it go, let it part.
An ugly form of art.
That don't make you look too smart.

In the realms of sacred humanity
Hate is regarded as insanity

Hypocritical cries...

Rainbows and butterflies

White clouds on blue satin

A golden sun shines gloriously

On Central Park in Manhattan


The sound of music's playing

As a jogger passes by...

There's joy in the air

When all of nature's alive


A green garden of flowers

Wild roses and lilies

A water fountain springs up 

As a squirrel...

With the sun shining on my right side
And the clouds pouring rain on my left
It seemed to me, I didn’t have too far to go
To reach the most brilliant rainbow I had ever seen yet

I ran as fast as my little feet could take me
Before...

Rainbows of Balloons
(the friendship song)


You’ll find me down by the river
skipping stones in tune
to the great firs that hum
when the soft wind touches
their tops with its light strum.  

You’ll find me lost far in the clouds
where smiling blossoms
gather up in a crowd
around their conductor
who’ll...

When I saw him last, 
He wore grey bananas on his feet 
He had a pirate’s hat between his teeth 
Long last the man from Oliver Kitten arrived on the shores of my head 
How was he to bring such a large basket of straws...

      ~~Move the Clouds~
      (A Reason for Rainbows)

When you left, you took my heart!
It was midnight.
You darted out of the house into
that midnight Spring moonlight,
with but two sentences.
I stood there weeping, with my tears 
falling on...

The moon kissed the sun goodnight
And the stars walked shinning bright
The night a pleasant silence brings
An occasional flutter of angels wings

Showers of stardust fall from way above
For someone's heart, for someone's love
For a soul who uttered a prayer
To be granted because they care

And in the...

Scrambling tooth and nail for a patterned fate
I approached the lofty mansion of Learning's Gate.
All cued up for a slip of paper - the one they call Degree,
halfway convinced that I hallucinated humanity.
For who under their own free will would venture
into this spiraling sameness:
this illustriously-in-debt,...

I wish to hear   your Mew tonight, sweetheart
With hairs untied   to nestle up against you

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

Chasing Rainbows

I've never believed in chasing rainbows.
How would I find the end of one of those?
Where do they begin? Where do they close?
I never have learned where one quickly goes.

It's as elusive as a night without sleeping,
Or wasted tears over lost love's weeping.
A love no...

Storm clouds finally passed us by
      the sun shines over head;
   rainbow spans across the sky
         with brilliant hues instead.

Hues of every color known
      to...

When time moves on 
And we have to stop to say goodbye
My how it reminds us how time flies by
Oh why must we say goodbye 
When that just makes us want to cry 
As I sigh and ask God why 
I try to remember its...
