Reflections

Wind drives rain against my window
and causes the Internet to play
peekaboo with my satellite
dish; it’s another stormy day.

I am almost lulled to sleep by
the pattering of the raindrops,
my thoughts becoming foggier,
when the rainfall abruptly stops.

I rouse myself and see the glow,
bright sunshine is already beaming.
I look downward to see the light
where a fresh rainbow is gleaming.

It comes from the prisms in my
window, hung to reflect sunlight,
casting upon my carpet there
their spots of color until night.

My name is Michael Williams and I formerly posted with others at The Peaceful Pub. The owner of that blog has shut it down, so now I can be found at:

this is a new blog, and I am still trying to get it exactly as I want it. For now, the list of recent posts can be found at the bottom of the page. I plan to post in three categories: poetry, prose, and challenges. Thank you in advance for checking me out.
