Erasing the Rainbow The morning light is dim a veil of mist and pewter sky where cool leaves crisp and perfect lay still in wait for wind of fate, wait some crunch from out the door that doesn’t hear what was before Changed changed Penetrate the mist of time and walk into the silent morning, hushed somehow where are the birds? A footfall’s like a spoken word. Looking for the sweet release of knowing this covered canopy only awaits the afternoon, I’ll open mind and sense of heart Now now Would the gate be closed to me between this minute and the next, how bide the glorious delay? Stay stay Wipe the friendly perfect glass, erase the rainbow that is fake for what is real. |

This is done to perfection. You've painted images that I can touch, a day I can feel. |

"Penetrate the mist of time and walk into the silent morning," ~ Your penning perfectly illustrates what I experienced on my morning's walk  Yes, perfectly! Love & Nature's Light, Linda  |

SweetMartieSis~ Ah ... such crisp thoughts of renewal~ Somehow ... (maybe because I have one) I did see that rainbow decal on the sliding glass doors~  Love you sweet lady~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

It is easy to apply the word perfection to your works... but today, I can't think of anything else. *S* This poem for this day was to me... perfection. *S* |

"...for what is real." ...that isn't lost in passing. Indeed, for what is real? |

The morning light is dim a veil of mist and pewter sky where cool leaves crisp and perfect lay still in wait for wind of fate, wait some crunch from out the door that doesn’t hear what was before I felt every word this poem is a marvel you see things in 3 D! |

Such a beautiful expression....but be careful dear lady....because when you wipe away what seems unreal, you may be brushing away the only thing that is. I've done that before, a time or two....but I never wrote it in such a magic way. |

I felt the cool new leaves, and looked forward to the warm afternoon. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

those last few words say so much, as to what is fake and what is indeed real a poet who cares |
