RAINBOW LIGHT
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

If I could put rainbows in bottles,
I’d send them around Mother Earth.
Gifting each man, woman, child,
With light of immeasurable worth.

Red, orange, yellow and green rays,
And indigo and violet there be.
~ Bands of heavenly colors,
And some that we can’t even see.

Every one sees their own rainbow,
~ Their own view of refracting light.
It depends on where they are standing,
And the angle of colors in sight.

Light bouncing off falling raindrops,
Is interpreted by each person’s eyes.
But everyone loves to see rainbows,
~ Colored bridges spanning blue skies.

If I could put rainbows in bottles,
I’d send them around Mother Earth.
Gifting each man, woman, child,
With light of immeasurable worth.

An interesting piece, I liked the ideas of bridges and the way it spans the skies, almsot makes you feel like you're climbing somewhere on the rainbow.

Structurally I found the rhyme scheme a little jarred, the words themselves rhymed, but there seemed to be an inconsistent set of syllables that hurt the piece.

God work though

Jessie ~

Thank you for dropping by and leaving your thoughtful reply. I appreciated all of your comments!

I found it rather difficult to put my rainbow thoughts down in a flowing manner ~ especially the stanza on the colours of a rainbow!

Love & Rainbow Light,

(does happy pot of gold dance) Awwwwwww, you know how I love rainbows soooooooo much with the way I love psychedelia, tie-dye, Rainbow Dancer, etc, yay! (smiles) You do exactly that, dearest friend, and it doesn't come from a bottle, it comes from your prism heart, where you truly are an angel that influences and comforts the world with your I-Thou relationship to everyone, regardless of their differences and makes them feel loved! (wipes a warm tear) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are the epitome of a friend anyone would be blessed to have in their life, and I am lucky to be one, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
