I thought the poem was good right up until the last 2 lines........they
ruined it completely.

How so? What would you have said instead... or would you hav just ended it?



But thanks for sharing......it was an interesting read.


Thanks!

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
