Mr. Rainbow Sonnet
By the foot of a rainbow I dared cast
A glance at all the things spilling from it
Oh there were treasures! Sparrows darting fast
Jacks of all trades and nightingales a flit
My head tossed back to laugh and as it did this
The rainbow rose and jumped into my throat
Mr Rainbow! I cried in admonish
and in vain, for then I began to float
The little birds took my ankles and wrists
The jacks began to jump up to great heights
'I'll reach heaven!' I cried, 'if this persists'
This was what the rainbow felt, in his flights
I peered from above back down to below
And hoped that I too had, a rainbow glow
