A Crystal Rainbow Poem by Owen Cullimore

As I look up in the Sky
Following the recent bout of Rain
A magic crystal Rainbow has appeared
Just like a narrow window pane
The multi-coloured majesty
Glows brightly in the sky
It makes me stop and wonder
From whence, and how and why
It has suddenly arisen
Out from its pot of gold
That lingers at the Rainbows end
Or so the stories told
It is like a Crystal Staircase
Heaven sent for me to climb
So that I may disappear
When it is my time
The different hues that shine so bright
Red, Green, Blue and Yellow
Even Orange on the odd occasion
The whole sight just looks so mellow
One moment my Rainbow is in the Sky
The next it has gone away
Just as mysteriously as it first appeared
To return hopefully, another rainy day
