Sundry emotions
Autumn and spring coexist;
Rainbow within her.
She frames the rainbow
In the pristine white pages;
Plays the song of life.
Unaware, she is
How many lives the rainbow
Touches and uplifts.

Note: This is a Senryu (also known as human haiku). It is a Japanese poetry form that follows the syllable count of 5-7-5 like that of a haiku. While haiku is used for describing nature, Senryu talks about human emotions or human nature. It is a three-line, unrhymed verse that is usually written in the present tense.
Loved the title of the poem dear and the lines touched my heart.

Also, really liked this poem. The person's beauty of soul comes across. My fav part is:
Autumn and spring coexist;
Rainbow within her.

ReplyDeleteThis is touching. You are right sometimes it pays to seek answers within ourselves because the rainbow lies within!
ReplyDeleteLovely, this is :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, again, this can be used metaphorically to co-relate with real lives!
