Poetry - Nature’s Rainbow

Nature’s Rainbow

Yellow, blue, white and pink,

Glittering between shades of green,

Under blue sky,

Yellow sun,

And white clouds;

As Spring explodes in colour.

In the trees, the hedgerows

And verges,

They purvey their scent

To attract and seduce

With UV tracks,

Nectaries,

And lively pallor.

Insects, birds, rabbits

And hares

Go about their business

In this new land of plenty

After months

Of slim pickings.

Opher – 3.5.2020

After the grey days of winter nature explodes into colour as the brown soil and skeletons of trees erupt in buds, leaves and flowers.

It is as if nature is providing its own rainbow.

This is a time of renewal, a time of plenty.

It is a joy to watch.
