| THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAINBOW |
and walked down a narrow long path I started looking up at its huge arch a beautiful apology for god's wrath it took me forever to get to here and now it didnt seem very fair that there was no pot of gold the end of the rainbow was bare I looked at its colors in awe and wondered how it would feel so I reached out to touch it reached into its colorful seal As I walked on through to the other side things got really weird for me I rubbed my eyes in disbelief the colors started changing awkwardly There was no more blue sky Nope it was green instead of blue I looked down and saw tan and realized it was my shoe but my shoe was white before I came here What the heck is going on What is this I fear Colors expolded everywhere and the grass was violet red the clouds were a funky color of yellow the trees were the bland color of lead Odd colors had taken over the water wasnt blue anymore It kinna resembled an easter egg it was pink and green unlike before A rabbit runs by, what could this be? Ive never seen one that shade He was purple can you believe that? and his end with a bluish red fade the animals colors were all awkward too not just nature in this place I was shocked when I saw my color had changed I was tealish on my arms and my face I explored this strange world which seemed like another domain across the galaxy far and wide A new place to rule and ordain I decided here is where Id stay and set up a civilization in a pinkish green pond I would swim all the time Yes I would stay here for a long duration I named myself god of my world the only one to ever know its existence I built me a castle upon the silver grass with a cute little black picket fence Twas sposed to be white but thats what ya get when you come to this nether-plane once you cross over to this parallel world you will never quite be the same my crown was made out of the prettiest brass which wasnt golden yellow in hue instead it was violet and chartreuse This color combination was new I hafta admit it really kinna goes with the other crazy colors there be Im intrigued to know what colors take ahold of the mountains and the desert and the sea Could you imagine the color of snow it would prolly be ecru or the mountains on which it fell they would prolly be cobalt blue the desert instead of a beigish brown would turn into the brightest spring green the cactus would change to a lovely shade of fuchsia a veritable universe from a dream the birds are maroon and the sun cyan with traces and shades of minty green the flowers are different shades of khaki the fish in the ocean colored cream Ive seen enuff I wanna go home Could never get used to colors this way apples turned to orange and bananas to olive and chocolate is the color of hay I step back outside of the rainbow Ive seen more than enough of that dome I like the world just as it is The true world is home sweet home BACK TO POEMS |
