Writer's Island prompt ~ Questionable

The beauty of a rainbow
Is an eternal wonder
~
But when a certain eye
Corners the primal bow
With the cobwebbed
Barbs of a tall
Relentless
Fence
(Right where the pot of gold should be)
Somehow
This beauty is
Questionable

maybe because some leprechaun is guarding that pot of gold :-)
no grimmer destination for the end of a rainbow huh????
very clever.. photo and words.
The thing about rainbows, they're all illusion - unfortunately.
neat little poem. I enjoyed it!
Gemma,
Rainbow may indeed just works its magic in our fantasies, but nevertheless, 'tis still a symbol of hope. And the rainbow works its magic in reality in that manner, not showing us proof, nor offering us solutions to our every problem ~ it only serves to keep us hoping that there is something good behind all the clouds that darken life and the rainbow is our bridge to that.
But isn't hope everything?
It is.
I wish you well.

Alot of people these days run into that barbed fence while looking for their pot of Gold. Often the Powers That Be don't even bother to erect a fence any longer-they simply offshore the pot of gold somewhere else.
Excellent Poem, and as usual Gemma, I love your photography!
Thank You.
oh that is very good gemma...
