a string of prayer beads -
on a sultry summer's night
young princess chanting

one weeping willow
a leaf shadow oasis -
where the palm trees grow

camels on posters -
a cruise ship drops its anchor
left behind the snow

rainbow wishes span
a bright yellow blossom near -
the stone Buddha shrine

Sky Watch Friday

Sips

I watched in wonderment and awe this morning a double rainbow; the first one appeared dim, i thought i was looking at a waning bow but, it just started to zoom first brighter and brighter, then it became thicker strand,it loomed so, i felt if i reached out i could touch it; then it widened and spanned into a perfect arch, brightening still more, then the second one appeared a shy one, this one above the brighter bow; then the bolder faded along with the shy; both absorbed into an overcast; my viewing i'd say lasted about 7-8 minutes ending at about 6:57; Wow my morning's delight!!

sips of tea -
the rainbow
brightens
and widens
