Double Rainbow

by Chelsey   Apr 6, 2012


Canary and citrus rays of sunlight
beam through the trees and snug beaten branches
Branches that gasp for breath
As fog absorbs their every motion

High above this desolate forest
resides two illuminating siblings
Radiating shades of turquoise and emerald
Lighting up the sky with
their violet and magenta smiles

Hidden by the corners of winding trails
in the hills of a desolate town
Are the ends of these two miraculous sights
Beautifying abandoned land

    "Lighting up the sky with
    their violet and magenta smiles"

    This lines were the ones that stood up the most to me... Violet and magenta smiles, I'm either thinking the lips are those colors rather than the teeth but for my first read I pictured the teeth being that color and that just ruined the image for me... lol

    After that I said wait no.. and so I read it again and the lips being that color makes more sense.

    over all, Beautiful piece.

    Yep, totally "beautifying" piece Chels! The extended imagery is particularly pretty - especially the colours, "shades of turquoise and emerald... violet and magenta" - so warm and cushioned.
