Crystal-Cut Turtle

Water rainbows are my favourite

Also milky opal on my grandmothers ring

Cloudy moonstone

Miniature moons on bracelet

Who’s rainbows are very subtle

Little prisms of light on the floor

Under the blankets when I was little

I saw rainbow squares which is

Strange as rainbows are circles of colour and light

Bubbles in the washing up

Rainbows are water and sunlight and I love them

Arcs of protection for children

Beautiful lorikeets fly in a glimpse of bright hue

Paua shell has slippery silvery rainbows

Pigeon feathers have irradiance in greys

Christmas beetles glow like emerald tinsel

Dragonfly wings glint wildfire in the sun

Gold powder of a peacock feather

Hazel eye lapis lazuli

of a goddess called Iris

Opalescent marbles glazed like

oil slicks on a royal orb

Crystal cut turtle catches the light

Delicately crafted prism patterns

From old fashioned chandeliers

Vincent’s Parisian cafe inspires with

Dreams and unpinned by the stars arc of destiny

Rainbow cats on

A scarf from a Chinese silk shop

A boat with violet grades of lace,

selenite sails with love heart

The luminescent aeriole around the moon

Midnight moon bows

Hand made rainbow socks

A woven rug in my turquoise room

Butterfly sun catchers

Marbled boxes with ink mandalas

Violet tincture

Blue medicine bottles filled with gold flakes

Indigo angels

A horse called Sundance

A crayon coloured tambourine

With “ I only came to see you shine” in greylead

“Somewhere over the rainbow” sung lovingly by a school choir

Mother of pearl shell in fragments washed up with sea glass

Pansies and sequins, rainbow roses

Clockface in chrysoprase

Midnight blue glitter eyeshadow

Wax candles ignited and melting the colours

Life saver lollies

Little squares of water colour

Urban rainbows rushing down the escalator

Kaleidoscopic jewels

Drops of ruby and other coloured baubles

Enlightened like circular raindrops

Coloured coins, tear drops

Shattered diamond snowflake tarnished diementes

Starlit crystal cathedral angelorum

Candied stained glass
