Lawn Rainbow

Under the drifting summer sun

that blazes relentlessly down

blanketing the air like homespun

woolens draped all over town,

sprinklers sing a soothing sonnet.

As manufactured rain falls round,

showering lawns and kids and mutts.

Filling the air with laughter’s sound,

from this humble homemade storm. 

What better way to spend the day

then in this delightful summer norm?

Forget the heat and simply play!

And if the sun will shine just right

we’ll see a rainbow twinkling bright.

Written for dVerse.

Glistering

gliding across the river, paddles

glint with trailing water drops

giving away spreading ripples and

garbling the watery ghosts of

galaxies and the full rising moon that

giant of silver shining light; pulling

gazes from the river to the sky
