~*~

Have you ever touched a rainbow,
Colored bands of misty hues,
Arching across cerulean sky,
When summer rain is through?

Your heart can rise to meet it,
Mingling with the glowing lights,
Becoming one with rainbow,
Fills your spirit with delight!

(smiles) Yay!!! Oh my gosh, I love rainbows sooooooo much, in fact I have the hippy spirit in me and love wearing tie-dye and created my own character before in poetry named The Rainbow Dancer! (kiss on cheek) Yay, groovy girl, I love it, 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

A fitting subject for poetry. Nor does it need the fabled pot of gold. Enjoyed by adult and child alike. Symbol of storms end, of peace, of wonder. Captured well in your poem.

But they never fail to touch me...

A very special poem; I enjoyed reading this! Sometimes there is nothing better for the heart than to reach for a rainbow...

Mr. T. ~

You get around more in your sleep than anyone I know--except for perhaps, me!

~ Follow a rainbow to its end, and there will be a wonderful surprise in store for you!

What a spectacular kaleidoscope of colors! Thank you! I truly appreciate it when you add to my poems with your wonderful pictures! The one of the lilacs is one of my favorites!

Have a glorious day!

I've never touched a rainbow
Or felt its prismed mist
But I've inhaled such beauty
From poems Angel-kissed
Three hundred times you've given
To us pieces of your heart
We've laughed at times and cried as well
As we devoured your art
None of us know the future
So we don't know what's in store
Still I plan to read your next three hundred
And at least three hundred more!

Congratulations!!!

Mwaaah! XO You little darlin'! You've made my smile stretch from ear to ear and I look rather peculiar--but I'm happy! That was so incredibly thoughtful of you to write me this wonderful keepsake poem! I have already copied it to a Word File of special replies and poems that some Pipsters have previously written for me--you already being one of them!

Delightful and very, very special! Thank you!

~ May rainbows paint your path in life with glorious and vibrant colors...

Loving hugs,
Linda
