Paul DeVito- A Poem

Rainbow

She was out in the garden,

sunning herself by the roses,

suddenly a rain cloud stopped by

and a gentle sunrain began to fall,

she flew up to her nest in the oak

and protected her babies,

the sun was stretching in various

directions and a rainbow was formed

in the west, the other birds

hardly noticed the rain, they played

in the birdbath, splashing merrily

as if time stood still,

then the cloud passed, my bird

flew down from her nest

and joined the others in the bath,

the flowers glistened with the drops

of water as if dew had fallen,

no catastrophe had occurred,

nothing at all hardly but a few drops

of water, and yet everything was different.
