Like Rainbows
themolly

Remember me like rainbows.
 1
They come only just so oft.
 2
Remember all of my colors,
 3
between the hards and softs.
 4
Edges are curved stretches
 5
and trenches that drop off
 6
over the horizon
 7
an ocean for Poseidon
 8
all roped off.
 9
 
 
Come again with new friends,
 10
over the vanishing point
 11
you won't fall off.
 12
We will invite you in
 13
with your new friends
 14
all colors all noises off.

I don't want to like this, I want to tell you it's bad and something is wrong but I read it over and over and I keep ending up liking it a lot!  Some of the rhyming is really over the top -oft and soft, for example - but I love the ocean for Poseidon all roped off line.  I didn't think lines 10-12 fit the scheme but they do!

Nice, nice

thank you.

maybe 'oft' is a little archaic
 — unknown

I like archaic.  Old school poet words are nice and nostalgic, and I'm not giving them up!
 — themolly

I liked it, too.

Very nice!!!! It makes me want to go run down a hill of flowers !! Different compared to your others
 — HeidiHo

This is one of my personal favs.  It came to me after becoming trance-fixed by an oily rainbow in a muddy puddle.
