For a brief moment in the sky
a rainbow glowed and caught my eye
but in a moment it was gone
replaced by lovely sun that shone
that briefly dried up all the rain
before the grey clouds came again

9 of 12 in ‘The Of…’ series from Jemverse 2022
The promise over our house today
in the sky right after the rain
gave us both a feeling of joy
when it with its radiance came
The colour was vivid, the arc of it wide
and though brevity saw its demise
its purpose was clear, one of promise and hope
beneath it revealed to the wise

2 of 12 in the Jemverse summer 22 series ‘Melting Days’
At the eve of this day
I will think as a rainbow
and there will be colours of summer
and the comfort of a captured smile
and there I will find a song

My trembles are you; a part of you so ingrained, entrenched within my mental and moral constitution.
I pity there is no eternal power nor anomaly in this wayward stack of melting rainbows – none at all, it seems, to guide me.

Walked home under rainbows
in a leaden sky
Gave me pause to wonder
as I hurried by
The hope left in that promise
all those years ago
With rain and shine a beauty
ever there on show

Seven colours, seven days
Violet’s turn at last
The seventh in the rainbow
and the star of this fine cast
Epitomising royalty
Nomenclature this noun
Nothing more I need to say
Save Violet wears the crown

Seven colours, seven days
and indigo’s in sight
The sixth one in the rainbow
reminiscent of the night
Deepest blue as evening fades
and quieter hours reign
Holding banquet to the hours
‘Til morning comes again

Seven colours, seven days
It’s blue today for me
The fifth one in the rainbow
and the colour of the sea
A place as much a part of me
as I am part of it
which by its calming waters
I will often simply sit

Seven colours, seven days
and green’s the next in line
The fourth one in the rainbow
and one that’s very fine
For it speaks to me of life itself
and the good things oft bestowed
on each of us ‘most every day
from all that nature grows

Seven colours, seven days
Orange follows suit
The second in the rainbow
it really is a beaut
It’s right there in a sunset
at the end of a long day
A testament to wonder
in every single way

Seven colours, seven days
beginning here with red
The first one in the rainbow
So, forging right ahead
Here’s to its long wavelength
with pigment deep and warm
Just like that in the poppy
Perfection made to form

Honouring the promise
as sunshine mixed with rain
I saw a massive rainbow
in the sky above again
It stretched across the heavens
a thing of pure delight
Its seven colours brightening
A truly glorious sight

Saw a rainbow through the window
travelling on a train
Huge black clouds behind it
bringing lots of rain

Walking up on Truleigh Hill
between two banks of rain
sunshine bright around us
and a promise made again
A rainbow high up in the sky
and also down below
appearing right in front of us
iridescence all aglow

The colours are sublime
Reflected here and mirroring

but there wasn’t any rain
Throngs lined all the city streets
And Pride shone bright again

Lay your tears to rest
in my skull like jewels,
to fray
my love for tragedy
and shake the world away.
..
This house is cold
inside summer ovens
of tar and butter,
where hammocks leave
crosshatched dreams
in my back.

Elephant spines
-skinned and baked-
curl neatly
like the burnt pages
of your
guilty conscience.
Smoke spirals
through your every
trapdoor;
whispering hoarse words,
heavy
like river rocks.
