Mr. Rainbow Sonnet

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

Yesterday I Heard I Died

Yesterday I heard that I died
But I'm sure someone made it up
That liar should be crucified!
I'm just napping before I sup

It's true my limbs don't want to budge,
It's too dark to find the light switch,
And where I am I cannot judge..
But still..this is all just a glitch

Last I recall I was napping
Enraptured by a lovely dream
Next I knew there came a tapping
Like falling dirt the sound did seem

Then the voice came that called me dead
Such a liar! I'm just in bed.

Lamb's Dream

Lamb's Dream

The lamb limped onward through the darkened day
Moments whistled by while the wind gusted
Everywhere she looked, everything seemed gray
The instinct to sleep must not be trusted

Her thoughts appeared and were faded like snowflakes
Her dream seemed so lost, like a shattered star
But she had sworn that 'whatever it takes,
'I'll find the valley, no matter how far.'

Indeed her mind was set on that golden
eden where flowers are always in bloom
Raindrops dance not just to be beholden
Some call it the paradisaical flume

Borne on by hope although her hooves did ache
She spun forward like a little snowflake
