    WHOA!! Has it really been THREE MONTHS since I posted in this thread?!  . . .

    Okay, it has.

    Tell me what you all think of this poem.

    Rainbow in Waterdrops

    Come down from the clouds once again
    Flash lightning bolts through the sky
    I’m soaking wet, wishing for dry

    Raindrops are melting from the eaves
    Small gems on the numerous leaves
    Look up close, nothing better to do
    Discover a whole new worldview
    Raindrops are pounding on your head

    In the droplets from heaven there can be found
    Arches of color wherewith mighty clouds are bound
    In those midnight moments when all seems dark
    Flickers of light can revive a glowing spark

    Rainbows encased in waterdrops
    Hope hidden within great despair
    Joy lights our lives, though flooded out
    Arch colors over misted air

    Rainbows will fill the sky again
    Though momentary, shining gems
    Add vibrant hues to the blue
    New worldview, and what will you do?

    From neon to pastel, they come
    They’re royal to crown a kingdom
    In doubles and singles they span
    Blue skies above this chaos called man

    In our lives on the ground when the darkness falls
    It can be hard to see through these dense rainy squalls
    Yet those rainy days allow life to abound
    Flowers must sprout and rise from the muddy ground

    Rainbows encased in waterdrops
    Hope hidden within great despair
    Joy lights our lives, though flooded out
    Arch colors over misted air

    Without rain, the rainbows wouldn’t lift the sky
    Shadows are proof that there’s a Light shining out there
    Downtrodden drives us to hope, sparkle for your eye
    In the stormy weather, take the sunshine’s dare
