No Poem Today

No Poem Today
No rainbow
Is that to say
Poem is rainbow?


No, for rainbow
Is not poem.
Rainbow is not me
Arched in the sky
For all to see
With a leprechaun promise of gold
And a God’s promise of mercy.


Most days are no poem,
No rainbow days.
With patience
We weather the whether,
The "to be or not to be"
Of clear sky
And blank page.


- Sitaram


(I had totally forgotten that I wrote this poem back in March)
