RAINBOWS
(An Acrostic)
Radiant arc across the sky
Always attracting the earthbound eye!
I feel that you should be more mystic,
Not something completely realistic!
But, I'm told, raindrops, though duller,
Oddly, like prisms, split the colour!
Would that you were a fairy beam,
So that I could drift and dream!
