Liquid Sunshine



Liquid sunshine cherry goop
Simmering rainbow soup
Shimmering steel blue skies
Reflect Zeus’ forgiving eyes

Fresh winds lift somber feelings
Evoking universal healings
Provoking men once unkempt
Donning courage woven hemp

Sipping soup scrumptiously stirred
Discouragement magically cured
Encouragement symbolically sings
Spinning rainbow fairy wings

Startled men suddenly fly
Contagious laughter bubbling high
Outrageous phenomena miraculously sent
Meandering rainstorm spreading content.

Cherry goop and fairy wings can't help but make a great poem!!

Interesting isn't how many different kinds of poetry there is.

You have a distinctive style obviously playing on the name of your blog. I rather like it!

The problem with this otherwise good poem is Zeus. For a god he was the archtypal dirty old man
(ask Leda)and not a very forgiving soul.

Yes, that's the irony of the poem... that Zeus who normally holds grudges this time chooses to forgive. He is also the Thunder God.

This poem is filled with irony -- the fact that it could rain and be sunny at the same time... liquid sunshine.
