birds sing upbeat notes
of chartreuse and violet . . .
dad, look, a rainbow!
bay, chestnut, and paint
see surprised sorrel horses . . .
a chubby groundhog!
fragrant springtime rain
wakes white, yellow, orange, pink flowers . . .
tulips everywhere!
english countryside
rainbows grace uneasy days . . .
a double rainbow!
cold colors sure can
paint melancholy landscapes . . .
yet the sun rises!
tan sand and zephyr
calm turquoise gulf waves rolling . . .
purple sand dollar!
before bold orange
fragile shades of violet . . .
a kiss from my love!
black, white dolomite
confident mountains with pines . . .
a milky blue lake!
red, white, and pink waves
and green ribbons wafting by . . .
look down, polar lights!
wrapped in a pale blue
red, yellow, green, purples too . . .
rapt in love with you
