Sliding Down A Rainbow
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
I’m sliding down a rainbow,
Soft mists caress my face.
The view from here is glorious,
As I slip through time and space.

~Majestic emerald forests
And clear cerulean skies,
Endless azure oceans,
Snow mountains steep in rise.

Sparkling, crystal waters,
And flowers of rainbow light,
The morning sun's rising,
The rise of moon at night

Fields of honey clover,
Streams winding ‘cross the lands.
Blue undulating rivers,
White deserts drifting sands.

A world lies there before me,
Which dazzles my spellbound eyes.
From lands and seas to the heavens,
~ Planet Earth is paradise.
+*+*+*+*+*+

Enchanting One ~

Hi, Nancy! Thank you and have a great W/E yourself!

I am starting mine off this evening reading 6 of my poems at an open mike poetry night at a cafe.

I thoroughly enjoy reading my poetry. I get such a rush from the wonderfully warm responses that I receive. I have a taste of what it must be like for my boyfriend who is a stage actor.

Loves 'n hugs,
Linda

Oh my gosh, I just love this. Darn how I wish I had written it.

You pull some beauties out of that mind of yours and ladyfriend, this is magical. Now, we need to get Mother Earth to blow out the fires in the West.

Hugs and loves, Marti

This must be what Iz was looking at when he sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". I love his rendition of that old song and I love your beautiful poem. They just seem to go together.

Marvellous Marti ~

I wish Mother Nature would get back on course and send the rain only where it's needed!!! Right now it's the west and may rain put out those raging fires!

As far as you wishing you had written this poem, if you had, I know that it would have been better than the one that I just wrote! When you put pen to paper (or your fingers on a keyboard! lol) every word is magical! ~ and I sincerely mean that! Gosh, Marti, I wish I could start each of my days off with a poem written by you!

Dear Linda Fairy you put me in such a mood ... it feels so good to slide down your rainbow ...

and I am sure this Earth is paradise ... that is it is for those like you and me who can look beyond the human carelessness.

Thank you for this magic.
I will keep it for further "use"!

Love and hugs.

Martie ~

I hope that you are not in the path of the wildfires! How frightening that must be for those who are!

I'm doing a cyber rain dance to put them out! There is either too much rain in an area ~ or far too little!

May life be kind to you and over the rainbow.

Hugs with love,
Linda

I love it when a reader deems my poem a keeper! It truly is very gratifying! I have saved many of yours as well to be enjoyed time and again!

Hugs of love and affection,
