Curves and Paint and Rain

Michael Anthony

 

I can’t touch the curve of a rainbow

or use its’ colors to paint

or count the rain until it stops  

 

Don’t be silly  

 

But my heart is a foolish thing sometimes

and it thinks: “All you have to do is try.

The first thing you must do is reach.”  

 

I felt the tender hues of your curves

as I tossed my umbrella aside,

counting all the rain I could, without fear  

 

With wet reflections all around us

awash in swirling, bouncing colors

we began painting from this palette

so many stories without end

      Well penned Michael. Interestingly, today I had the thought, what makes the rainbow shape like that of an arc?

      • Michael Anthony

        I'm sure a scientist could explain this phenomenon very succinctly for us, but this would likely suck all the poetry out of it, LOL!

          Oh I don't know about that. I'm sure one of us could find a poem lurking within it. 😊
