Random Rhyme (Killing Time) Poem by David Whalen

showers give birth to rainbows
Ripples radiate from streams
Dells lie down with meadows
And nightfall gives leave to dreams

Frost is water, etched in rime
Oceans are spawners of tides
Crystal is ice, frozen in time
Headstones guardians at gravesides

Clouds are the genesis of showers
Cuffs are the endings of sleeves
Days are collections of hours
Garlands are sisters to sheaves

Mists are liquefied dreams
Willow is nature with head bowed
Dusk is the midwife of moonbeams
Fog is the offspring of cloud

Nightfall is the ending of sunlight
Hugs give rise to unending pleasure
Blackness comes before white
Rainbows locate leprechaun’s treasure

Magic is fairy dust blown o’er the dells
Dawn is a newly born day
Stardust, enchantment, scattered by elves
And Dreams are the mind at play
