Pawing at the ground
looking extremely angry,
sharp horns pierce the air
A brave clown stepped in
waving a red handkerchief;
the Cowboy escaped
in the Western sky
bathed in water colored tints,
the sun is setting
the earth's atmosphere
filters the spectrum of light
in shades of orange
glistening with dew
growing wild in the sun,
a field of mustard
The eager blossoms
dancing slowly with the light
shockingly golden
removing our shoes,
hot tired feet languishing
In the cool green grass
then we were running
feet flattening the wet grass,
chasing butterflies
our son was laughing,
having just escaped sister's
playful clutching hands
so we joined them there-
baby blue eyes shining with
our joyful moment
a gift I bequeathed
to my beloved that day:
in a pretty box
unwrapping slowly,
the deep indigo sapphire
flashing like a star
colors faded then
filling us with excitement
of the tasty treats
purple shades of night
surrounded us as we lay
beside the warm fire

Author Notes
Thanks to Google for the image, and
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow for the quote.
Of course by Roy G Biv, I am referring to the Elementary School name which is given as a tool to remember the seven colors of the rainbow.
Red -orange -yellow- green -blue- indigo, and violet
Always enjoy the rainbow, as it is the symbol of God's promise after the flood which Noah built the ark for.
Blessings,
Brother Badger
