Floating on a Rainbow Membrane in a Bubble Freshly Blown.

I am F l o a t i n g on a

rainbow membrane

in a bubble freshly blown.

where.......

Birds sing,

bees hum,

children squeal

dogs cavort

kittens run

tires whir,

and trees sway,

to the winds

softest whistling

breezes

each twig

sashays.

Puddles

plink-plunk,

sneakers squeak

babies coo,

old men creak

as they walk the street

their bones gone weak

rain goes rat-a-tat-tat

umbrellas whoosh

cats howl, cars growl,

wet socks go squoosh.

soil becomes mush

dandelions burst

like tiny suns

as winters

cruelties undone

The sun beats down,

while thunder rumbles

a rainbow bends colors

in a prism a baptism

full of

gasps of delight

nature speaks,

in a jumbled

glorious exhibition

of it's most

wondrous sights

as I stand humbled

silent in great awe

of this concert

around me

upon which

I've stumbled

A balloon escapes..........

from a tots

sticky fingers

like Spring

it is here

but a short time

it lingers

it's a bright

bag of essence

that's blown

into some colors,

that over the

whole land

so gracefully hovers

after being tossed up

gaily into the air

till it pops sprinkling rubber

and sprinkles of

pastel confetti

everywhere

Spring uncoils

in lazy lengths of green

polka dotted with tulips

across backyards serene

where birds land

on clotheslines

to drip dry

from the rains

chirping whatever silly

song comes

to their brains

Cow tipping

should only be

Only twenty percent

the rest should

be shoved

off to butchers

all sent

to be cut and

grilled slowly

they just add

appetites

to this beauty so holy

and I need a bite

I have a strong

sudden taste

for some medium rare,

soft pink on the inside

crisp and brown

except there

with horizontal stripes

branded deep

charcoaled flared.

It's a silly

kind of moment,

as Spring break

cracks me up

while nonsensical rantings

from my head interrupt

any serious thought

like the rainfall

that came

and then ended abrupt

even poets fall prey

to the enchantment

that plays

in the warm breezes lilting

across such sunny days

that are prematurely granted

to all who are housebound

but venture outside

when the rains settle down.

It is here

I dance nimbly
tiptoe

ever so lightly

through these

puddles refractions

with their splish-splash

attractions

bygone days are

reflected with

each bare foot extracted

I'm floating

in a rainbow membrane

of a bubble freshly blown

sailing high above

the snows

long since

melted far below

as I bask in the sun's glow

that I've grown to know

living life

in the present

each time spring

brings it's show

warming hearts

planting smiles

on adults

and each child

older folks reminisce

while the kids

all run wild

in a spring

that's appeasing

and ever so pleasing

bringing

fresh hopes

to season

all the souls

who were freezing

in a winter so bland

spring is really

quite grand.
