The Promise

A bow of prismatic color radiates the sky

My eye sweeps the heavens as it dips by

Majestic and serene leaving all unseen

Head in the clouds to gather steam

For that one moment of breathing calm

Is like a poultice of soothing balm

God’s promise to behold

For as yet to unfold


Cathrina Constantine

I don't write poetry, but I took a silly stab at it.

    That was awesome. You should 'stab' at poetry more often :)

    I agree- you do write poetry, and there was nothing silly about this. Keep stabbing!

    Hi Cathrina, I think you should write poetry more often if this is what happens! Great job.
