An Arc of Rainbow- Archana Samata

An Arc of Rainbow

I saw a gust of wind winnowed around the leaves,

I gazed at the smoky cloud loomed large at heaven's sleeves,

I smelt the aroma of buttercups, near a turquoise lake amidst grassy hills.

I trembled as I heard the fidgeting bustle of a nestling, underneath the cozy wings.

She is a waddling mother goose, it dawned upon me

She cackled to save her nascent gooselings!

A splash of rain tapped on a wavy brook,

On the verge of a meadow, a yolk-like sun had a placid nook!

Might be the Rain God had slept for a while

Above the peak of an oak tree

Yonder a contingent of seven hues, painted the blue reel.

I was amazed! What an elegant row! A doodle of glistening bow!

I stood aback, 'Who is the painter'? She murmured, 'I am the Mother Universe'

Who paints in cluster 'An Arc of Rainbow'!!
