Rainbows
catching light with
the palm of your ha
nds who needs the p
ot of gold to live?
Light
wavering in perfection
dripping sore and warm
soaked in drenching pu
rity molten gold drops
Blood
breathlessly red cold
metallic connection t
o life scent overwhel
ming pulsing silently
Love
feathered insanity beating
like so many hearts unbear
able humans meant to live
two by two not ever alone.
Death
necessary cleansing for
the earth we destroy ev
eryday saves us from ma
king the same mistakes.
Author notes
I had fun with the free verse, although it may be a little confusing in a few of the blocks because I had a few lines of poetry in each one.

Yeah I like the concept, what you hve done with the promptm where you hve taken it...but having some words..break halfway through at the end of the line...doesnt work in any way
it so ruined it for me actually and made me sad cause I so love the words and what your saying
Good luck
Cindy
