Rainbow Jane

A Poem by jesserose99
"

listening to the voices

"

Rainbow Jane

sitting in her window pane

counting the shadows

dancing in her brain

waiting for them to say

walk-about the lane


The voices they tell her

where she ought to go

where she goes who knows

but the dancing shadows

and her bare feet with painted toes


See Jane swims the moat

when there never was a castle

she walks in the snow

while she waits in the water

no one comes to tell her

the shadows don't know

so on a walk-about she does go


the voices they chatter

to Jane it won't matter

she'll listen to what they say

Rainbow Jane

in her window pain

Wow. I began reading this and thought of Jane, the free spirit, following her heart. Then I got blammed with the last line and thought, whaaat? Poor dead Jane. Maybe freedom has its price. And maybe thats the moral of this tale, if you are gonna walk free, remember to look where you are going.
Captivating write. Superb.

A bit of a psychological thriller here. Your poetry has an innocence factor. The rhyme belies the meaning behind the words. I liked the take on pain/pane. Good one. Lydi**
