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
