Skywatch Friday: Playground Rainbow


No children are outside
to witness the rainbow.
Instead they're inside,
faces lit with TV's glow.
No young eyes open wide,
Legs don't race to find the end.
Discouraged, the rainbow fades.
I guess I don't exist, then.

Clouds, sunsets, blue skies, and more rainbows.

  3. Oh, LV, what a sad little poem. Surely there are still some children who play outside. If not, I fear civilization is lost.

  5. Beautiful shot of the rainbow and the poem is very relevant, it's sad how much kids can miss out on nowadays in favor of TV and video games...

  8. Too bad, kids would have appreciated this wondrous beauty. Then, perhaps, they will still see the scene as you freezed in a frame!

    Have a great weekend! My post is here: Cbanga360
