What If Horizons Were Rainbows

"It’s been an interesting year, to say the least. 2020 has been a beast I hope to not encounter again (but I’m not holding my breath). So we take the opportunity to look toward the horizon. We’re not sure what awaits us in the distance. But we may have an idea what we’d LIKE to be there.

So we ask you to write a “horizon” poem. It can be whatever you envision a horizon to be. The choice is surely yours."


Horizon is a far away word,
barely seen between sea and sky.
It is not tangible, cannot be heard.
Horizon is a far away word.
We can imagine a multi-colored bird,
and watch it rainbow out all lies.
Horizon is a far away word,
barely seen between sea and sky.

I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
