It was just gone five on the Friday morn
A sprinkling of rain welcomed the dawn
The rising sun reflected the rain
The emotions I felt, hard to contain
Solar rays kissed the skies
Filled such colour in my eyes
A rainbow or two
A magical view.
Then came the dream
The rainbow stream
Of flowing thoughts
Of hopeful reports
A symbol of change
Time to arrange
That brand new start
That sings in my heart.
Gary, you are a wonderful poet. And so full of optimism! We need that.
ReplyDeleteHi Alex,
DeleteYou are most kind, good sir. A shared optimism that breeds more optimism.
Rainbow wishes, your way,
Gary :)
Great poem Gary and I love the images. I swear I saw that second one at a Dead show once. :D

There is nothing more magical than a rainbow and you spotted a double rainbow. That should bring you double the good fortune.
ReplyDeleteHi Dizzy-Dick,
DeleteA double rainbow and double the magic. I think I saw two pots of gold :) Thank you, good sir.
Rainbow wishes, your way,
Gary :)
And he is a poet! That second photo ~ did I miss something in the skies on Friday morning ~ I was probably sleeping :). Have a great week Sir.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,
DeleteI dabble a bit in poetry. Not like Penny and her pawetry :) You missed a real psychedelic experience, I reckon. Time zones and radios! :) A fine week to you, dear lady.
Rainbow wishes, your way,
Gary :)
A good spot, hopefully a brand new start comes all hot to trot
ReplyDeleteAh Pat in the Hatt,
DeleteA spot of fun
Under glowing sun
Hot to trot
Quite a lot.
Rainbow wishes, your way,

The rainbow is a symbol of hope and a promise. (As God created it to show Noah there would never be another flood.) Your words are just as hopeful, Gary.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
DeleteThat is exactly my thought. And Noah told the animals to go forth and multiply. A couple of snakes came up to him and he told them to go forth and multiply. They told him they couldn't multiply because they were Adders.
Thank you for your hopeful reply, dear Diane.
Rainbow wishes, your way,
Gary :)
A rainbow is significant a promise in the sky for you to behold the wonder of life..a dream to be

Sounds like you are really looking forward to this move. Such a positive and uplifting poem. Hope your packing is going well. I believe I saw you comment on someone's post that Penny had to have surgery??????? Is our little blog star doing okay?
ReplyDeleteHi Delores,
DeleteI'm getting very excited about the move and a new beginning. Glad you liked the poem. The packing is just about completed. All I need now is for my son to actually pack some of his stuff. Yes, Penny had surgery to remove a series of fatty lumps. She is recuperating nicely. Hopefully, she can take over this blog real soon :) Thank you for asking, dear Delores.
Rainbow wishes, your way,
Gary :)
Good omen for your move Gary. Sounds like you are optimistic. All be best for this week and your new home.

I dunno if you and your wee people found a pot of gold or not, but your poem is pure gold. Rainbows are uplifting, and so are your words. Now, just hold onto that rosy feeling of optimism as long as you can.

I love your photos always and the poetry is lovely. Nice change from the norm, eh? I look forward to hearing all about your adventures getting to this oh so important next chapter of your life. Love you, and be gentle with yourself.
