Raincolours

a poem by Roger B Rueda

icterine, harlequin, gamboge,
folly, sallow, drab, mustard
umbrellas are roused
from their slumber
when it comes
down in buckets.
winds flounce yellow, ginger, olive leaves.

when volley falls frivolously
umbrellas are put down the lid
and laid beside the gate.
wet black, fallow, pasty shoes,
byzantine, razzmatazz, fandango,
capri, urobilin, xanadu, aurometalsaurus
rubber slippers, wet bole, bistre,
magnolia soxs are on the floorboards.

a bow of colours stretch
all over the wild blue yonder.
