The Sun
burst
ripe and wanting,
a flare
lit
and streamed across the sky,
leaving streaks of rainbows
hailing down upon the children,
wide-eyed in wonderment
standing still,

mouths wide open -
catching snowflakes.

This is a very cute poem...visual as well.
I never have caught a snowflake in my mouth
yet,  but if it snows...you bet I am gonna
try.

Reminds me of the Montana winter that is on the way... and that everything has its own unique beauty to it. Thanks for the read...

Not knowing the punchline, I missed the innocence, as this so eloquently spoke:

"wide-eyed in wonderment
standing still,

mouths wide open -
catching snowflakes."

(damn-I'd-love-to-have-that-back)

off to e-bay in search of a hymen!

Two'll get ya one I find it, too.

sheesh.

Sue, I just long to see the snow. It brings such beautiful images to mind, almost inspiring me to write again, which in itself would be a wonder....lol....(duets anyone???? grinz....)
Wouldn't it be perfect if we could see the beauty, without having to drive on it??  lol....
May your days be blessed with sunshine dear gal!
