In Transit.

Fay Slimm.

In Transit.

 

Jewelled with
rainbow translucence roll
rain-bead balls
slowly down outside windows.

Golden-globe
seed pearls, clear watery
glories slide
in uniformed lines, floorward.

Diamonds in
transit they shine and fire
sparkle from
each crystaline orb's inside.

Smallest gems,
if unnoticed, might seem
irrelevant,
joining the fall into sheen.

Caught however
by eyes with keen poetic
insight odes
to rain-drops might follow.

      WATER FAY is a far from simple substance ! Just H2O but because it has a positive (HYDROGEN) and negative (OXYGEN) ends ( H~O~H ) it sticks to itself and forms the alluring drops you mention. They can bejewel a Spider's Web or trace patterns on windows. each glittering orb is a PRISM and can split sunlight into a spectrum R-O-Y-G-B-I-V ! Which is how rainbows form. AND (as you say) rain drops really do stir the muse ! A true poet sees not only a rainbow ~ but also an ODE ~ in a humble raindrop. Love all you poems & pictures FAY ~ Yours B

          Raindrops are gems, and so is this poem. Pearls, diamonds, crystaline orbs, how many forms can water take? To the poetic eye, whatever the mind can imagine. A wonderful concept brought to fruition in a dramatic manner. I never sensed rain, only gems and colors galore. Wonderful. - Phil A.

          • Fay Slimm.

            Delighted you liked the read Phil - - yes raindrops are food for a poetic mind - - I could watch their formation on my windowpane for ages.
