Squirting Rainbows (Monday Poem)

by Shirley Hughes


Bare legs,
Bare toes,
Wading pool,
Garden hose.
Daisies sprinkled
In the grass;
Dandelions
Bold as brass.
Squirting rainbows,
Sunbeam flashes,
Backyards full
Of shrieks and splashes!


from Out and About: A First Book of Poems by Shirley Hughes, 2015, Candlewick
