The rainbow running through my head

The rainbow
running through my head
leads to a land
of tootie-frootie
sherbet fizz.
Candy-striped hope and happiness
wait for me there,
hand-in-hand with the possibilities
I passed by
in past daydreams.

The rainbow running
through my head
is a sugar-coated tour-guide
to tomorrow.

I like this, reminding me of hope, wonder, 'The Magic Roundabout', and the lyrics from 'Strawberry Letter 23' by Shuggie Otis:

"All through the morning rain I gaze
The sun doesn’t shine,
Rainbows and waterfalls run
Through my mind.
In the garden I see
West purple shower bells and tea,
Orange birds and river cousins
Dressed in green.
Pretty music I hear
So happy and loud,
Blue flower echo from
A cherry cloud.
Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue,
Playgrounds will laugh if you
Try to ask "Is it cool?"


Write on,

Fearless

Woz - a few lines inspired by my Weemee and the fact I've taken too many drugs for 1 my age!...glad you liked it!
Shuggie's words 'resonate'...

I particularly like the way this is broken up, keeping the second part short and concise work really well. Perhaps it's my wayward nature that draws me to it!

Forgot to mention, I like the the sujested rhyme of 'fizz' and 'happiness'. Rather draws the attention and makes the following line more powerfull.

Cheers Iggy. Here's hoping your tomorrows are all sugar-coated also...
