Showers sprout forth rainbows of softness,
filling the mind and sky with splendor
and thoughts of mirth to tarry.
Do rainbows bring forth new thoughts to ponder,
or just remind us of long fogotten dreams?
If we revisit old dreams,
no matter how long they lay dormant or fade,
won't they forever be in our heart to grasp?

A fine contribution
you have written here. I am not saying that you should, but I was wondering if you delete the words: "have hope can we not", in the final stanza, if it would not strengthen the magnificent outcome intended in the second question? Besides this, I truly enjoyed your poem. Even without the picture, it conveys the intended. God bless. Frans
