The Rainbow

by

Linda Dousay

Transparent shades of blue and red
    shimmering in the sky
       concentric and colored
       arcs that may
           be seen with the naked eye.

 

Between the shades of blue and red
    around and in-between
       indigo, violet
       yellow, orange
             and wavering shades of green

 

Cutting across the darkened sky
    ending of rainy days—
       bending of light in small
       drops of rain
             ribbons of glorious rays.
