A friend asked me to write about rainbows.
This is the piece I come up with.

Rainbows

It's elementary
How this diversionary
Quite simple burglary of the senses
Can be so extraordinary
Yet oh so ordinary
And lead to this simple statement:

I like rain.

Now I don't mean for this piece to revolve around moodiness.
Or the South Korean entertainer of the same name that has ridiculous abs
that look nothing like mine and set me into the previously mentioned
state of moodiness...

Call this a love poem.
Or a processionary
Somewhat rudimentary
At times tumultuary
Piece of gallantry.

...let's just stick with calling it a love poem.
To my favorite natural occurence.

That thing that we sing in
We dance in
We splash around in
Makeout in
And for some people get some heavy petting done in.
Given enough time, it's guaranteed to make anybody wet.

See, I'm a fan of the rythm.
Drop.
Drop.
It starts up slowly.
Gives you time to notice the change of the wind, the sweeping of the clouds,
the cooling of the air.

Drops turns to pitter patter.

People head for cover as the pitter patters turn into a torrential downpour
of liquid precipation formed by the condensation of atmospheric water vapor
into drops of water
and just
before
you realize I just taught you something scientific...

it stops.

silence.
peaceful silence.
drip.
drip.

For some reason I find myself thinking about physical contact
with a woman in the form of sexual intercourse.

Oh let your drops caress every inch of my body and leave me breathless
with your majestic beauty.

That was about the rain.
Rainbows.
They're pretty.
They remind me that everything's gonna be alright and to relax and just
take a break.

Refractory period.
Now that's a blatant sexual reference.
To be honest, I lost track of any meaningful point I wanted to get across
with this piece.
Probably when I said "it".

I think I'll just go get myself a cup of tea now.

-----------------------------

Rough cut.
Just put this together in the last half hour or so.
Ideally it's broken down in a way so that when you read it, you can get the cadence I'm aiming for.
