Mysterious.
Hello shiny loop of post-shower Rainbow,
you of mosaic-powered striated halo,
and so sages tell, a sign of faith.
You, chaste secreter of legendary gold,
crescented magic of arc-perfection
your brilliant mixtures of shaded hues
break raindrops to states
of optic illusion which beget elation.
Oh consummate sweep of bow-creation,
who knows what day your
promise appeared world-flood to negate.
Favour no seekers oh Rainbow whom
by digging for myth will
follow false roads right to your end.
Make therefore no friends
of illicit searchers for treasure, those
who see you as meant lure
for retrousséd lucre-embellishment.
Rainbow, thieves mimic your blessings
in pseudo-gilt with which
as ingratiates they become obsessed.
Sedate then all wealth-lust with curved
sting at each end of your
rain-augmented feet to waylay theft.
Divert and deflect looters with luminous
know-how and curl into
spacial desecration to decry deception.
Bedazzle all lechers by preventing entry
to any pretentious view of
your true riches that sate the sensitive.
You as writhing kaleidoscope can keep
away sly schemers by
retaining your mysterious irridescence.
Alive with alchemy
behave like a ghost changing your face,
turn pale, fade, become invisible
and disappear to invalidate trespassers.
Rainbow hide what is always your own
from blinded deviners with
pot-of-gold-eyes thus stay unmolested.
Stretch out your tracery uncontrolled
oh beauteous vision, protect your
vaulted prism of hidden wholeness.
Initiates know the reason your glory
appeals as Heaven's whispers
assure oceans stay placed evermore.

Glad you think talking to a rainbow is worth a verse Michael - - thanks a load for the comment.
Thanks FAY for your ever new and inventive Poets touch ! Who would have thought that the mechanical refraction of white light into (R O Y G B I V) by the prismatic raindrop ~ could ever stir such poetical musings ! But it did because FAY saw it ! Thanks for a remarkable POEM # from the pen of a very elegant Lady. I have a vision FAY of you writing all these awesome Odes on vellum with a quill pen ~ before moving into the 21st C and sharing them with us lesser Poets on your vintage PC ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours as always BRIAN. Please check my 14 Stations and my new Fusion CHOCOLATE ~ thanks B.
Ha ha - - odes on vellum might have been my style born a century or so ago Brian - - your comments are always so original and encouraging - shall get out my Granma's shawl now and find my old quill pen !!! Thank you so much for the visit and comment.
