It's A Funny Day For A Rainbow
~*Marge Tindal*~



It's a funny day for a rainbow
Though the colors are bright with hue
God sent a sprinkle of rain
With a smattering of sun shining through



So I'm skittering across the rainbow
Fleet of feet in gaiety prancing
Though it's a funny day for a rainbow
I sure do feel like dancing



Up jump Jolly Jingle
Why I believe I see Kris Kringle
It's a funny day for a rainbow
And I'm seeing things of delight
Dasher, Prancer and Vixen
Readying for the flight
Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen
Dancer waiting with Rudy Red
And his nose so bright



It's a silly day for a rainbow
But I'll take it come what may
Take my hand and dance with me
Across the rainbow of the day



For some there are snowflakes falling
And Kisstletoe to be hung
I'm basking in the sunshine
With shopping yet to be done



It's a perfect day for a rainbow
So join me in merry measure
Stepping out in Holiday Greetings
With friends of gold to treasure



It's a funny day for a rainbow
Singing carols so merrily
Jump on board the rainbow
I've much for you to see



Candy canes and oranges
Stockings to be stuffed
Children waiting just to see
If they've been good enough



It's a funny day for a rainbow
And it offers so much more
A celebration of the baby's birth
And hearts with love galore



Take this one-time offer
Join me in a song
It's a funny day for a rainbow
And I've invited you along

It's a funny day for a rainbow
and I've been invited along.
It's a great day to let all pain go
and join Marge in a song.
I t may be short and may be sweet
but once you fall right into it
you'll just have to move your feet
with your heart like a musical movement.

I think it's a wonderful day for a rainbow after reading Marge Tindal's poem.... yipee!! I'm off to dance through the hues with my muse!!   love it Marge!!

What a sweet Christmas poem, it reads like a song or better yet as a Christmas carol.  You've done it again with your creativity!  You always make me smile.  I'll sing with you anyday! I really enjoyed this and I loved the graphics

shakes the jingle right out of your soul

LOL @ 'Maw-Maw' ...

Lots of room on the rainbow.
Glad you are dancing too.

There is a rainbow
in your snow
It captures just
the softest glow
Of dancing beams
in prismed light
to bring you dancing
through the night

*Actually it WASN'T much of a day for a rainbow -
but there it was - dancing off the clouds.
I just said, 'It's a funny day for a rainbow.'
And Poof !  This delightful little gem took flight.

*Thanks to all of you for your sweet comments.  
You make writing so much fun !

It's a funny day for a rainbow
But it's a perfect day for snow
A perfect time to trim the tree
And for a candle's glow.
It's a funny day for a rainbow
But it's a perfect day to sing
About the Christmas season and Jesus' birth
And rainbows and everything!

My friend, I do believe that rainbows follow you around as every where you show up there seems to be a smattering of color left in your path.  Lovely and fun write my friend.  Loved it for sure.
