14 Rain Poems

 

RAINBOW POUR


Into the sea

the rainbow pours

her many hues

but the sea's

vastness

remains blue






RAIN TAP DANCE


The sound of many waters

On the rooftop, raindrops tapping

In a different clime, icicles slowly

   drip drip drip

At lake shore tiny waves lapping

As it flows over sharp rocks

sings its ecstasy the brook babbling

The waterfall's majestic roar

River waters coming home

become sea waves ever chanting Om

RAINBIRD

 

In an aquamarine sky
the translucent
cloud feathers
of the rainbird
begin together
to gather

RAIN FALLS BUBBLES RISE

Rain drops fall
and bubbles rise
Some tides ebb
Some inflow
Some wend to
Some wend fro
Each with
his own
way to go

RAIN TIPTOES

Rain tiptoes
into roots
before sunwanded
into juice

TRANSUBSTANTIATING RAIN

How did the
sweet rain
transubstaniate
to juice of pear?

(to J and R Pear)

RAIN AT SEA

Rain at sea..
redundancy

RAIN ARROWS

Do rain arrows
come from the rain-bow?
his band a poststorm sign
that his weapon has
been put down?

RAIN COMES TO COCONUT PALM

How does rain enter
beloved coconut's shell?
Through humility's gate: the roots...
then to tree heart and
to the magnificent fruit

Note:
Coconuts contain lauric acid, conducive to meditation.
Coconut shells can be used for many things.
Coconut milk and coconut flesh are a perfect food.

RAINBOW COVENANT

Vowbreakers:
Zeus with Calisto..
Odysseus
next with Calypso

but not the One God with infinite names
who made a rainbow covenant with all.

RAIN AND RAINBOW VERSION 2

Can there be rainbows
without rain?
Can joy be born without
its mother pain
Yes.. there is nothing
God cannot attain

RAINBOW GATE

A raindrop quenches
a fruit fly's lifespark...
sending
her to better life.

A bee caught in amber
goes on to heaven's chambers

PREPARED FOR RAIN

The parasol
is prepared for Sol
but also for
April's mercy rains.

RAIN DANCING

They do a
tribal rain dance
that on their roofs
and on all plants
rain gifts will fall
and rain will dance

 

 

 

 

The sound of many waters...

On the rooftop, raindrops tapping

In a different clime, icicles slowly

   drip drip drip

At lake shore tiny waves lapping

As it flows over sharp rocks

sings its ecstasy the brook babbling

The waterfall's majestic roar

River waters coming home

become sea waves ever chanting Om
