when orchids came to earth
I thought the poem was good right up until the last 2 lines........they
ruined it completely.
But thanks for sharing......it was an interesting read.

om...
The first rainbow
Was not overlooked
Everyone came
From the overworld
From the underworld
From men's dreams and dead religions
To see, to rest on the bridge over the sky
But so many showed up
Every god and sprit in a million pantheons
The rainbow creaked and moaned
And when at last a mayfly settled on it
It was the last straw
And the humpback rainbow split!
Into a thousand shards of light
Into every color and shape
Raining on the earth
Like the tantrum of
Some mad impressionist
Many were lost
But some, the rare few
Clung to the trees
Found refuge in must
And nooks
And thrived
These are the orchids
A reminder to all
The beauty can only bear so much
Before it is vaporized
