Colorful hues yonder across pristine skies

Image: Rainbow over the Golden Falls in Iceland
a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river (here)

Extending quickly a reach scathingly beyond
Colorful hues yonder across pristine skies
To hug intently an endearment spellbound
Stepping across yellow daffodils in the wilds

Ungainly steps seemingly over fast waters
That plunge icy cold furiously down below
Lamenting sadly life's woes that easily falter
Into a roaring abyss of melted white snow

Resolute resolution stamps a hard wallop
Determined to pick up the little pieces and get on
Pinnacle of lofty goals a little more than a wild scrub
Grabbing the elusive rainbow an ultimate achievement

Note: Bjorn had suggested the generous use of
modifiers (adjectives and adverbs) in a poem

Meeting the Bar - and modify it

  3. Ah yes.. when modifiers
    become metaphors for
    Nature.. i for one
    cannot
    get
    enough..
    as beauty
    in Nature
    has Universal
    Metaphors
    literally
    and figuratively
    all over the place..:)
