Chasing Rainbows Poem by David Harris

Chasing Rainbows

Rating: 4.7


Chasing rainbows
That should have followed the rain
Chasing old loves
‘cause no new loves came
Chasing old dreams
For no new dreams came along
Writing old love letters
‘cause there are no new words to be found
Oh, I am just a fool
Who will never learn
Deep in my heart
A spark continues to burn
Urging me always onward
To the no where end
Where I’ll be forgotten
By foe and friend

Oh, this is a pessimistic one, David! Sounds like the writer just wants to curl up and die! I'm sure this isn't happening to you..... but it's cleverly written. Love, Fran xx

Very fine craftwork, David...I HAVE FOUND, IN MY OWN PRIVATE WORLD, THAT WHETHER OR NOT TERES ALWAYS ANEW LOVE TO REPLACE AN OLD LOVE, CAN BE QUELLED IF YOU HAVE YOUR DREAMS & IMAGES & IF YOU HAVE BEEN GIFTED TO BE ONE OF THSE FEW WHO CAN WRITE ABOUT IT &RELEASE THAT VOID TIL LOVE COMES ONCE AGAIN.YOU HAVE THAT GIFT, MY NFRIEND...EMBELLISH IN IT!

Just because, on balance we fancy the idea of being on the hamster wheel a little more than we do the reality of being off it, is my explanation! Why are you writing my story by the way? ? I feel at home in this one. I'd rather I didn't, but that's the way it is. Some universal truths captured here I suspect David. A very fine poem sir. jim

An intensely appealing piece - for its honesty, its whimsy and its pleasing structure. I'm glad the spark of passion continues to burn in your soul and I love your particular brand of gentle humour too. Lovely poem. Warmly, Allie xxxx

This is such a great poem filled with profound thoughts! I mean how true is it that if we keep doing the same thing we can not expect to get something different...yet we continue on the same path over and over even when we know we are not happy where it leads! ? Great title and imagery..a very well writen piece by a very intelligent and talented poet. Have a Great day and thanx 4 sharing. =Shelley=
