People always prefer rainbows to rainclouds
Happy smiling faces to deeply furrowed frowns
They'd rather hear of butterflies fluttering all the day
Than hear about a plague of locusts
Stripping crops away
The joy of nature in full bloom brings peace upon the soul
But give them the ravages of each season and no one wants to know
Speak of things good and bright
And you'll get a huge response
But when someone decides to moan and cry
You may as well be on your own
But each is as valid and real as the other
There is beauty in light and dark
Love and fear are both the same
So why hold one and shun the other?
That is not natures way
There is balance in everything
But people always prefer rainbows
Rather than clouds full of heavy rain

So very true SC, the belief that the Pot o' Gold is waiting for them enhances their dreams.

Very true GF
Oh most definitely, I mean if it's raining there's a chance Orchi will start singing!.... Gimmie a rainbow and fairytails.
Arghhhhh! Anything but that Dusk!
Great writing crow 🙂it’s so much easier and nicer to smile at rainbows . But perhaps the clouds full of heavy rain ... perhaps they are beautiful we just can’t see it . Beauty within ....
Like your poem .
I’m not sure that your always on your own if you Moan and cry ... although some people will simply stay away ,
I agree with you re the moan and cry line but I was too lazy to change it haha. Thanks for reading Rose
Of course I'm your thunder cloud with plenty of it, Sax.... Climate change is on its way - if not here already...
Quality work though.
Good old climate change. Its the new covid!
Nah - it has seniority over covid - think of covid as the young offspring.......
True words SC. Well written. 🙂
Thanks Jayasree 🙂
A fine write SC. You got that that pot of gold? Did you get to end of rainbow before us!? lol.
And held the leprechaun to ransom Orchi. T'was a fine thing so it was
You seen Jim McDonald in Corrie? He changed that coat yet? It msut pong. he has not taken it off for about 20 years!
And has Zac (though not Irish) changed his hat yet in Emmerdale, or is it glued on?!
Good write, S.C.
Though I may not agree
He wrote a poem to win her heart.
Wrote five on how she tore his apart.
True Sax, balance in everything. 🤔
