WILLIAMS PEN : POETIC ANALYSIS BY WILLIAMSJI MAVELI

Poet:
Lilian Woo
Poem:
THE GORGEOUS RAINBOW
A prism in the sky so high after the rain's embrace
A kaleidoscope of hues, bright and sly, takes its place
The seven-colour rainbow arcs dance in radiant delight
A spectrum of wonder, a breathtaking sight in heavenly light
The combination of colours gives a harmonious and enchanting scene
Each hue whispers stories of its own, always every green
A symbol of hope, the timeless beauty of the rainbow glows
Mysteries unfold, a promise so bright, a dream that flows
A fleeting beauty through mist and sun, the colours blend
A captivating image, so calm and deep, too soon to end
The magic shows a masterpiece of nature's mark
Everyone could enjoy the fascinating ambience in the park
In those wonderful moments, your eyes can see blissfully
And your heart can feel the boundless joy and mystery
Sing a silent song of hope and love in your tender grace
Of hidden dreams and desires, you faithfully
embrace
The rainbow adorns the sky, and the sun shines gloriously
Birds enjoy freedom, soar high and flutter happily
In the soft whispers of the zephyr, melodies from the deep ocean sing
Across the horizon, the gorgeous rainbow spreads its ring.
